    Default A question about counting solutions to a sudoku Matrix with recursion

    Hello, new to the forum. Thanks for having me.

    I've implemented a backtracking algorithm to find a single solution to a matrix. Which is represented as an int[][].

    It currently finds the same solution on the same input.

    What I want to do:
    To count the amount of solutions to an input matrix.
    Fx. the empty matrix:
    0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0
    has 288 unique solutions, because 4! * 3! * 2! *1! = 288.

    What my problem is:
    My current attempt returns 64. And I can not really see what I am doing wrong.

    Hopefully somebody strong in recursion can help me track this down, or easily spot what I'm doing incorrectly.[COLOR="Silver"]
