112. Path Sum

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.

解题思路：就是通过递归将大问题分拆成很多个小问题，每次递归返回对应值。分别判断左子树和右子树之间的值，再然后进行递归，返回条件是节点为空，或者是终止节点与sum相等。

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * 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){

            if(root.val - sum == 0){

                return true;
            }else{
                return false;
            }
        }

        return hasPathSum(root.left, sum - root.val) || hasPathSum(root.right, sum - root.val);

    }
}
