Solve Sudoku as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem

Here we have two kinds of sudoku puzzles first one is just a numeric n*n table, and the other one contains colored cells.
We solve tables as a CSP problem using the Backtrack algorithm with forward-checking and MRV and Degree heuristics.

Normal Sudoku

There is just one rule here: Each number should be unique in its row and column.

Input:

In the first-line enter n(dimension of table).
In the next n line put each num value in a row(you can put * for free cell).

Example:

7

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
A	7	2	6	*	*	*	1
B	*	*	*	*	4	*	*
C	*	3	*	*	1	*	*
D	*	*	2	*	*	*	7
E	1	*	7	*	2	*	*
F	*	6	*	*	*	*	2
G	*	*	*	3	*	*	*

Output:

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
A	7	2	6	4	5	3	1
B	3	7	5	2	4	1	6
C	6	3	4	7	1	2	5
D	4	1	2	6	3	5	7
E	1	4	7	5	2	6	3
F	5	6	3	1	7	4	2
G	2	5	1	3	6	7	4

Colored Sudoku

1- Each number should be unique in its row and column.
2- Each cell must contain a color s.t for every two adjacent cells. If a cell has a greater number, then its color should have more priority over that adjacent.

Input:

In the first line, enter m, n(number of colors and dimension of the table).
The second line contains m colors from high priority to low.
In the next n line put each cell num and color in a row (you can put * for free cell, and # for colorless cell).

Example:

6 5
r g b y p o

4#	2b	3r	1#	5#
2#	5#	1#	3#	4#
5r	1#	4#	2#	3p
3#	4#	2#	5#	1#
1#	3#	5#	4#	2#

output:

color priority: o < p < y < b < g < r
result :

4g	2b	3r	1o	5b
2o	5g	1o	3p	4y
5r	1o	4p	2o	3p
3p	4y	2o	5b	1o
1o	3p	5b	4y	2p
