# Define a procedure, check_sudoku,
# that takes as input a square list
# of lists representing an n x n
# sudoku puzzle solution and returns the boolean
# True if the input is a valid
# sudoku square and returns the boolean False
# otherwise.
# A valid sudoku square satisfies these
# two properties:
# 1. Each column of the square contains
# each of the whole numbers from 1 to n exactly once.
# 2. Each row of the square contains each
# of the whole numbers from 1 to n exactly once.
# You may assume the the input is square and contains at
# least one row and column.
