Abstract

Sudoku is a logic-based puzzle that is played by numbers from 1 to 9. The simplicity of puzzle's structure and low requirement of mathematical skills caused people to have enormous interest in accepting challenges to solve the puzzle . It is therefore of interest to study how to solve ,generate and rate such puzzles by the help of computer algorithms. This research, is carried out on limited to study of two chosen algorithm with their pros , cons and pseudo code . Paper also concluded to study further the result of testing, examine comparison, with level of puzzles and time complexity between algorithms. [1,2]
