Sudoku

[taj2011]

This is the code and there is something wrong with the check column function. I am unsure and need help.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int sudoku_solution[9][9];
const int array_size = 9;

inline int random()
{
   return rand() % array_size + 1;       
}

bool check_column(int value, int row, int column)
{
    if(row == 0)
    {
      return true;
    }

     for(int i = row; row > 0; row--)
     {
/*        if(column == 7)
        {
        cout << "ROW: " << row << "\n";
        cout << "COLUMN: " << column << "\n";
        cout << "value : " << value << "\n";
        cout << "sudoku_solution: " << sudoku_solution[row - 1][column] << "\n";
        system("PAUSE");
        } 
       if(value == sudoku_solution[row - 1][column])
       {
         return false;
       }*/
     } 

     return true;
}

int approach_5(int array[], int size, int row)
{
    int numbers[size];
    int try_count = 0;

    for(int i=0; i < size; i++)
    {
       numbers[i] = i + 1;   
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
    {
       array[i] = numbers[random() - 1];
       try_count++;

       while(array[i] == 0 || !check_column(array[i], row, i))
       {
          /*if (row ==7)
          {
                  for ( int j = 0; j < 9; j++)
                  {
                      cout << " DEBUG" << j << array[j]<< "\n";
                  }
          }      */ 
         array[i] = numbers[random() - 1];
         try_count++;
       }

       numbers[array[i] - 1] = 0;
    }

    return try_count;
}

void fill_sudoku_row(int source_row[], int cells_to_fill, int dest_row_number)
{
     for(int i=0;i<9;i++)
     {
            sudoku_solution[dest_row_number][i] = source_row[i]; 
     }
 }

int main()
{
  int row[9];

  for(int i=0;i<9;i++)
  {
    for(int j=0;j<9;j++)
    {
       sudoku_solution[i][j] = 0; 
    }
  }


   for(int d_row=0; d_row<8; d_row++)
   {
    approach_5(row, 9, d_row);
    fill_sudoku_row(row, 9, d_row);
   }

  //fill row 

  for(int i=0;i<9;i++)
  {
    for(int j=0;j<9;j++)
    {
     cout <<  sudoku_solution[i][j] << " "; 

    }
    cout << "\n";
  }  
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;   
}

What error are you getting?

for(int i = row; row > 0; row--)

Why row>0 and row--. Should it not but i>0 and i-- ?

Why have you put the code inside for loop in comments? Your function check_column is returning true in any case.

And ident your code and repost it using code tag
