Question 36 of 75 - LeetCode Weekly Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #437. Path Sum III

Given the root of a binary tree and an integer targetSum, return the number of paths where the sum of the values along the path equals targetSum.

The path does not need to start or end at the root or a leaf, but it must go downwards (i.e., traveling only from parent nodes to child nodes).

 

Example 1:

pathsum3 1 tree

Input: root = [10,5,-3,3,2,null,11,3,-2,null,1], targetSum = 8
Output: 3
Explanation: The paths that sum to 8 are shown.

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,5,1], targetSum = 22
Output: 3

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 1000].
  • -109 <= Node.val <= 109
  • -1000 <= targetSum <= 1000

					class Solution {
public:
    void solve(TreeNode* root,int targetSum,int &path, vector<int> &add)
    {
        if(root==NULL)
        return;

        add.push_back(root->val);
        solve(root->left,targetSum,path,add);
        solve(root->right,targetSum,path,add);
        long long sum = 0;

        for(int i = add.size()-1; i>=0; i--)
        {
            sum += add[i];
            if(sum==targetSum)
            {
                path++;
            }
        }
        add.pop_back();
    }
    int pathSum(TreeNode* root, int targetSum) {
        int path = 0;
        vector<int> add;
        solve(root,targetSum,path,add);
        return path;
    }
};
