LeetCode 112. Path Sum

112. Path Sum

Difficulty:: Easy

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.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

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.

Solution

Language: Java

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
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);
    }
}

Language: Go

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * type TreeNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Left *TreeNode
 *     Right *TreeNode
 * }
 */
func hasPathSum(root *TreeNode, sum int) bool {
    if root == nil {
        return false
    }
    if root.Left == nil && root.Right == nil {
        return root.Val == sum
    }
    return hasPathSum(root.Left, sum - root.Val) || hasPathSum(root.Right, sum - root.Val)
}
