Summary

Describes a constraint in a number-placement puzzle that indicates that whatever value the specified FindTheValueConstraint.Cell contains, the cell that many steps away must contain FindTheValueConstraint.Value.

Example

For example, if FindTheValueConstraint.Cell is the top-left corner and the constraint covers the top row, then FindTheValueConstraint.Cell can only contain a 3 if the fourth cell (3 cells to the right of the top-left corner) contains FindTheValueConstraint.Value.

Constructors

FindTheValueConstraint(int cell, int value, IEnumerable<int> affectedCells)	Constructor.
FindTheValueConstraint(int cell, int gridWidth, int gridHeight, FindTheValueConstraint.CellDirection direction, int value)	Convenience constructor to generate a FindTheValueConstraint given a grid position, size, and a direction.

Instance methods

ConstraintResult

Process(SolverState state) Overrides: Constraint.Process(SolverState)

Override; see base.

Static methods

int	TranslateCoordinate(string str, int gridWidth = 9) Inherited from Constraint	Converts a convenient coordinate notation into a puzzle-grid index.
IEnumerable<int>	TranslateCoordinates(string str, int gridWidth = 9) Inherited from Constraint	Converts a convenient coordinate notation into puzzle-grid indices.

Instance properties

int[]	AffectedCells Inherited from Constraint	The group of cells affected by this constraint, or null if it affects all of them.
bool	CanReevaluate Overrides: Constraint.CanReevaluate	Override; see base.
int	Cell	The “focus” cell that indicates how far FindTheValueConstraint.Value is.
int?	NumCombinations Inherited from Constraint Virtual	Indicates an approximate number of possible combinations of digits this constraint can still accommodate. This will help the solver prioritize cells when multiple cells have the same number of combinations individually.
int	Value	The value that must be in the cell a number of steps away from FindTheValueConstraint.Cell.

Nested types

CellDirection

Used to indicate directions in FindTheValueConstraint(int, int, int, FindTheValueConstraint.CellDirection, int).
