+<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-sudoku/">36. Valid Sudoku</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr>Can you solve this real interview question? Valid Sudoku - Determine if a 9 x 9 Sudoku board is valid. Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the following rules:
+
+ 1. Each row must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
+ 2. Each column must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
+ 3. Each of the nine 3 x 3 sub-boxes of the grid must contain the digits 1-9 without repetition.
+
+Note:
+
+ * A Sudoku board (partially filled) could be valid but is not necessarily solvable.
+ * Only the filled cells need to be validated according to the mentioned rules.
+
+ 
+
+Example 1:
+
+[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Sudoku-by-L2G-20050714.svg/250px-Sudoku-by-L2G-20050714.svg.png]
+
+
+Input: board = 
+[["5","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
+,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
+,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
+,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
+,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
+,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
+,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
+,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
+,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
+Output: true
+
+
+Example 2:
+
+
+Input: board = 
+[["8","3",".",".","7",".",".",".","."]
+,["6",".",".","1","9","5",".",".","."]
+,[".","9","8",".",".",".",".","6","."]
+,["8",".",".",".","6",".",".",".","3"]
+,["4",".",".","8",".","3",".",".","1"]
+,["7",".",".",".","2",".",".",".","6"]
+,[".","6",".",".",".",".","2","8","."]
+,[".",".",".","4","1","9",".",".","5"]
+,[".",".",".",".","8",".",".","7","9"]]
+Output: false
+Explanation: Same as Example 1, except with the 5 in the top left corner being modified to 8. Since there are two 8's in the top left 3x3 sub-box, it is invalid.
+
+
+ 
+
+Constraints:
+
+ * board.length == 9
+ * board[i].length == 9
+ * board[i][j] is a digit 1-9 or '.'.
