solvertools

Module providing the core tools to build and interact with a Sudoku solver.

`generate_solver(method_order, stepper)` #

Build a Sudoku solver by deciding in what order the solving methods (i.e. the instances of FmtSolvingMethod classes) are chained together. The order of the method_order array implies that after the failure of the n-th method, the n+1-th method will be used. On the other hand, at success of the n-th method, the solver will proceed by calling the 1st element of method_order. Moreover, any StepperBase object must be provided to guide the user through the solving process.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`method_order`	`Tuple[FmtSolvingMethod]`	Solving Algorithm objects in their preferred order	required
`stepper`	`StepperBase`	The Stepping object used by the Solver	required

Returns:

Type	Description
`FmtSolvingMethod`	The Solver

`load(path)` #

Load a Sudoku puzzle stored as csv file at path and build a Sudoku structure form the tow-dimensional grid.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`path`	`Path`	The path to the `.csv` file	required

Returns:

Type	Description
`Sudoku`	The Puzzle in its initial shape

`save(sudoku, path)` #

Write the solved sudoku puzzle to a csv file at path

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`sudoku`	`Sudoku`	The puzzle to save	required
`path`	`Path`	`.csv` file to write to	required
