LC.112.Path Sum

https://leetcode.com/problems/path-sum/description/
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.

注意题意: if the tree has a root-to-leaf path 这道题是要走到底,不是走一半!!
如果走一半停止,那会很复杂

这道题可以用pre-order对于二叉树自上到下来递归,每次递归生成一个减掉root.val的新sum,
然后先判断sum是否为零并且当前的root是否为leaf,若满足则return true,否则对其左儿子和右儿子分别递归,返回左儿子结果||右儿子结果,
如此往复直到root是null(本身是leaf,此时返回false)。

time: o(n) space:o(n)

 




 1 public boolean hasPathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) {
 2         if (root == null) return false ;
 3         int newSum = sum - root.val ;
 4         //判断sum是否为零并且当前的root 是否没有叶子了(已经走到底,不用再走了): 这道题是要走到底,不是走一半!
 5         if (root.left == null && root.right == null && newSum ==0){
 6             return true ;
 7         }
 8         boolean leftRes = hasPathSum(root.left, newSum) ; //细节, 跟节点的 newSum 并不会被一边所改变
 9         boolean rightRes = hasPathSum(root.right,newSum) ;
10         //如果左边或者右边有一边走到底并且走通了,则这一层返回 TRUE, 一直层层返回到最顶层 TRUE
11         return leftRes || rightRes;
12     }

 

网上还有一种做法用STACK 现在无法理解,以后再弄!
