Hi ,
This is the sudoku solver i created to win second prize in an inter colleage coding contest ... I almost all the time reach the finals (after a objective type C/C++ knockout round ) and misses out in the finals ... I have won lot of second and third prizes but not the first prize ...I am frustrated .. I want to be a better coder .. I am submitting a sudoku solver i created ... I would be grateful if experienced programmers here can give a suggestion on improving my programming style so that i can win the first price the next time ... I am a moron ... I am not a very intelligent fellow .... but i am hard working fellow ... I am willing to work hard and harder ....In fact i am fool ....

The i code i submit does not perform any input validation and i polished the source code a bit .. so that its more readable ... The time taken was about 1 hour 30 mins ... I used Dev-Cpp as the IDE

The i code i submit does not perform any input validation

There ya go

I asked them explicitly whether input validation is required and they said it was not needed ...Also the time provided is very short ... Thats why i didnt perform any input validation .. Also any comments to improve the above program will be very helpful

is it windows? or does it have to be portable?

if windows, create a basic GUI, with some fancy styles, and a progress bar or something

Hi,
Please do download the attachement ... It does have a basic gui ...
