Homework 3.8 - My Solution

0

So in the Unit 5 After Hours, Dave and Peter suggested that we post coding solutions that could compete with their solutions, so I'm going back to Sudoku to show my solution. The approach I used is to create a procedure that checks horizontal and vertical duplication at the same time, row/column by row/column.
This is a bold step for me, as I am a total newbie, but I would still love to hear some feedback.

Thanks!

def check_sudoku(square):
vcount = 0
while vcount < len(square):
    vertical = []
    for nested_list in square:
        sample = nested_list.pop()
        if sample in nested_list  or sample in vertical or sample < 1 or sample > len(square):
            return False 
        else:
            vertical.append(sample)
    vcount = vcount +1
return True
