* Remove redundent function
After reviewing this code, I've noticed that the `is_completed` function is a redundant operation.
Increasing the number of loops required for each step of the sudoku solver.
This should remove n² operations where n is the width of the grid.
* Update sudoku.py
Remove additional newline
* Added static typing to backtracking algorithms
* Ran psf/black to fix some minor issues.
* updating DIRECTORY.md
* updating DIRECTORY.md

This method is recursive starting from (i, j) and going in one of four directions:
up, down, left, right.
If a path is found to destination it returns True otherwise it returns False.
