## Introduction
To get the PDP-10 to solve sudokus and learn how to code in PDP-10 assembly, we
should first consider, what functions we need, and how to structure the code, so
we can build small, fast and reusable functions. Since organising code in
assembly is a lot harder than in high-level programming languages such as LISP
and C, we should first plan how the program should look like, before we start
writing the actual code. This way, we can encapsulate the code and make it
reusable. The program will follow a simple flow:
```mermaid ```mermaid

start((Start))
print1["Print Welcome Message"]
cmdline["Read file name from command line"]
fileexists{"File Exists?"}
loadfile["Load grid from file"]
print2["Print board"]
solve[["Solve the puzzle"]]
print3["Print solved board"]
stop((Stop))
start --> print1
print1 --> fileexists
fileexists -->|No| stop
fileexists -->|Yes| loadfile
loadfile --> print2
print2 --> solve
solve --> print3
print3 --> stop
``` ```
