Open Rules

Region Sum

Each listed segment of the line has the same total value. Crossing a region boundary begins a new segment.

Parameters

Parameter Meaning Default
line The cells in order, for example r1c1-r1c2-r1c3. Required.
segments The cells in each segment, listed in path order. Required.

Maths

Class: with aggregates.

The shared predicates define the notation and every named predicate.

∀A,B ∈ segments: valueSum(A)=valueSum(B)

Every explicit segment has the same sum of V values. Segments are ordered runs within one authored region; returning to a region begins a new segment.

```rules
sudoku 9x9
region-sum r1c1-r1c2-r1c3 segments [["r1c1","r1c2"],["r1c3"]]
```

Satisfies the rule: r1c1=1, r1c2=2, r1c3=3. Both listed segments total 3.

Breaks the rule: r1c1=1, r1c2=2, r1c3=4. The listed segments have totals 3 and 4.
