112 Path Sum – Easy
Problem:
Given a binary tree and a sum, determine if the tree has a root-to-leaf path such that adding up all the values along the path equals the given sum.
For example: Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,
5
/ \
4 8
/ / \
11 13 4
/ \ \
7 2 1
return true, as there exist a root-to-leaf path 5->4->11->2 which sum is 22.
Thoughts:
This problem could be using a modified DFS.
BFS would also work on this problem.
Solutions:
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public boolean hasPathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) {
if (root == null) {
return false;
}
if (root.left == null && root.right == null) {
return sum == root.val;
}
return hasPathSum(root.left, sum - root.val) || hasPathSum(root.right, sum - root.val);
}
}
