Checking if a value only apears once in an array

[Domenatrice]

I am writing a program that solves sudoku and I need to make sure my array only contains the values one through ten and I also need to add them all up to make sure they equal 45.

Thanks!

You can check that an array contains no duplicates by making a Set out of it and checking it's size. Or you can use for loops and check that no entry in the array is followed by an entry with the same value.

You can constrain the values in an array by simply never adding any value that you consider illegal. After the fact, the for loop mentioned above can also check that each value is good. A for loop can also keep track of the total.
