If copilot ever generated me code which contains 96, I would disable it immediately :D

let me take my foot out of my mouth...I forgot I wrote this comment, and in one month (I'm very new to coding) I have learned a TON. Seeing this notification and then what my comment was, I cringed at it. Forgive my ignorance y'all

...So copilot copied my work? I wrote this many years before copilot existed.

This code really looks great

the easiest one i ever done

ugh, and here I am trying to use math LOL

Note for the reader: sorting at each step is bad.

99% of the time, the number one solution is the EXACT solution (with some variables replaced) that Copilot suggested as most concise...forgive my skepticism

It passed all tests, so the problem is that the tests did not include all cases.

i think regex would have been better

There should be another choice: Best Practices, Clever, Genius. Genius|1 from me!

nice one bro! how can i do the same for any problem statements?

I'm surprised this works with negative numbers!

You are right. When I did these puzzles, years ago, I was following a style of brevity. The recursive call saves a line.

Does the recursive call to sudoku(P) actually make this any quicker than if you use the same logical code (as i did) and just update the puzzle and iterate through it again, with say, a while solved = False construction? It doesn't seem like the "recursion" in this case is actually cutting out much labor?
