Leetcode - Valid Sudoku

Determine if a Sudoku is valid, according to: Sudoku Puzzles - The Rules.
The Sudoku board could be partially filled, where empty cells are filled with the character '.'.
Note:
A valid Sudoku board (partially filled) is not necessarily solvable. Only the filled cells need to be validated.
[分析] 九宫格规则：每一行，每一列，每个3*3的区块的9个数字恰好为1-9，不能有重复。
注意3*3的区块为行列三等分形成的，共9个，而不是任意的3*3区块。 此题对我来说难点在于3*3区块下标的表示上，方法2参照 https://leetcode.com/discuss/45494/java-solution-easy-to-understand，代码非常简洁。
