Given a binary tree and a sum, find all root-to-leaf paths where each path's sum equals the given sum.
For example:Given the below binary tree and
sum = 22
,
5 / \ 4 8 / / \ 11 13 4 / \ / \ 7 2 5 1
return
[ [5,4,11,2], [5,8,4,5] ]
Analysis:
1. DFS algo.
Iterative?
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> pathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) {
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> lres = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> rres = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
if(root == null) {
return result;
}
sum -= root.val;
if(sum == 0 && root.left == null && root.right == null) { // return an ArrayList contains current node if success
result.add(new ArrayList<Integer>());
result.get(result.size()-1).add(root.val);
return result;
}
else if(root.left == null && root.right == null) { // return empty ArrayList if failed
return result;
}
// left subtree
if(root.left != null) {
lres = pathSum(root.left, sum);
if(!lres.isEmpty()) {
for(int i=0; i<lres.size(); i++) {
result.add(new ArrayList<Integer>());
result.get(result.size()-1).add(root.val);
result.get(result.size()-1).addAll(lres.get(i));
}
}
}
// right subtree
if(root.right != null) {
rres = pathSum(root.right, sum);
if(!rres.isEmpty()) {
for(int i=0; i<rres.size(); i++) {
result.add(new ArrayList<Integer>());
result.get(result.size()-1).add(root.val);
result.get(result.size()-1).addAll(rres.get(i));
}
}
}
return result;
}
}
Update 02/06/2014:
Analysis: We need to find root-to-leaf paths, so how do we know a node is a leaf? A leaf has no child, which is leaf.left==null && leaf.right==null. Therefore, a qualified path should satisfied that root.left==null && root.right==null && sum-root.val==0. The algorithms used here are dfs and backtracking.

clone.add(root.val);

tem.add(root.val);
pathSum(root.left, sum-root.val, res, tem);
