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.
Code:
1 bool hasPathSum(TreeNode* root, int sum) { 2 if ( root == NULL ) 3 { 4 return false; 5 } 6 7 if ( root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL) 8 return root->val == sum; 9 else 10 return hasPathSum( root->left, sum - root->val ) || hasPathSum( root->right, sum - root->val ); 11 }
