In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will create a Sudoku game solver using Python. This problem is an example of what is called a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) in the field of Artificial Intelligence. CSP is a mathematical problem that must satisfy a number of constraints or limitations all the time. In this project, You will use the Backtracking algorithm to solve CSPs, in a Sudoku game. Backtracking is a recursive algorithm that tries to build a solution incrementally, removing solutions that fail to satisfy the constraints. Eventually, you will be able to use the knowledge acquired from this project on far more complex projects that employ these technologies. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
