You are given a 9x9 sudoku. Your task is to solve sudoku and return the solution.

A sudoku is a puzzle in which players insert the numbers one to nine into a grid consisting of nine squares subdivided into a further nine smaller squares in such a way that every number appears once in each horizontal line, vertical line, and square.

For example: Consider following sudoku:

example1

To solve it you have to fill blank spaces by numbers from 1 to 9 subject to constraints:

Any number should not occur more than once per row.

Any number should not occur more than once per column.

Any number should not occur more than once per block of 3x3(here, each block is distinguished by bold borders).

It will be solved as:

example1

Problem approach

The basic idea is to check whether each row, column, and 3×3 box is valid or not on the basis of the following points: 

The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character ‘.’.
An empty Sudoku board is also valid.
A valid Sudoku board (partially filled) is not necessarily solvable. Only the filled cells need to be validated.

You have been given a singly Linked List of 'N' nodes with integer data and an integer 'K'.


Your task is to remove the 'K'th node from the end of the given Linked List and return the head of the modified linked list.


Example:
Input : 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 'NULL'  and  'K' = 2
Output: 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 'NULL'
Explanation:
After removing the second node from the end, the linked list become 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 'NULL'.

Problem approach

Take two pointers; the first will point to the head of the linked list and the second will point to the Nth node from the beginning.
Now keep incrementing both the pointers by one at the same time until the second is pointing to the last node of the linked list.
After the operations from the previous step, the first pointer should point to the Nth node from the end now. So, delete the node the first pointer is pointing to.
