The way the P ROLOG interpreter works is by using a trial-based technique. Indeed, using the restriction predicate leads to the complete enumeration of the possible solutions until the good one is found. – The number of such possible solutions can be quite huge. This method of solving sudoku grids can therefore take a very long time. 1 is not instantaneous. One may regret that the human expertise (as we saw in the first part of this book) to solve sudoku is completely set aside by such a brute force technique.
2. The Art of Prolog by Leon S TERLING and Ehud S HAPIRO is a good reference book for a complete and precise description of P ROLOG. 59 60 A-Z of Sudoku define a programming language based on the expressivity of formal logics to solve a problem instead of being forced to given a step-by-step algorithm. Thus, a declarative language was desired instead of an imperative one. P ROLOG is widely used in artificial intelligence software and for natural language processing. – Implementing a P ROLOG interpreter is a fascinating exercise.
Its generalization to the “classical”sudoku is quite easy. Using P ROLOG declarativity, it is necessary to specify the properties to be verified by a valid sudoku solution grid, to provide the given and finally to ask the P ROLOG system to give a value to the variables. We consider here one variable per cell. Its value will be the digit to write in the cell in the solution grid (which is necessarily unique). A valid solution obeys two principles: uniqueness of each digit in a given region and a restriction to digits from 1 to 4.
