Solving Sudoku Using Recursive Backtracking
function X = sudoku(X) 
%   sudoku(X), expects a 9-by-9 array X. 
 % Fill in all “singletons”. 
 % C is a cell array of candidate vectors for each cell. 
 % s is the first cell, if any, with one candidate. 
 % e is the first cell, if any, with no candidates. 
 [C,s,e] = candidates(X); 
 while ~isempty(s) && isempty(e) 
    X(s) = C{s}; 
    [C,s,e] = candidates(X); 
 end 
 % Return for impossible puzzles.
