You are given a binary tree in which each node contains an integer value. Find the number of paths that sum to a given value. The path does not need to start or end at the root or a leaf, but it must go downwards (traveling only from parent nodes to child nodes).
The tree has no more than 1,000 nodes and the values are in the range -1,000,000 to 1,000,000.
Example:
root = [10,5,-3,3,2,null,11,3,-2,null,1], sum = 8
10
/ \
5 -3
/ \ \
3 2 11
/ \ \
3 -2 1
Return 3. The paths that sum to 8 are:
1. 5 -> 3
2. 5 -> 2 -> 1
3. -3 -> 11
这题之前做的时候给出的做法是:递归,如下:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int pathSum(TreeNode* root, int sum) {
if (root == NULL) return 0;
return cumulate_helper(root, sum, 0) + pathSum(root->left, sum) + pathSum(root->right, sum);
}
int cumulate_helper(TreeNode* root, int sum, int tempsum) {
if (root == NULL) return 0;
tempsum += root->val;
return (tempsum == sum) + cumulate_helper(root->left, sum, tempsum) + cumulate_helper(root->right, sum, tempsum);
}
};
这种写法最为简单也最好懂,但效率并不高,可想而知,同一个路径上,因为起点不同,我们做了很多的重复计算。
今天我们给出另一个思路下更高效的做法。
方法二: backtracking 类似,存储路径再讨论
其实这题就是找所有从上而下的路径和,起点随意,和为固定值就行。所以我们考虑把路径存起来讨论,完整路径在那,怎么求和都方便。
class Solution {
public:
int pathSum(TreeNode* root, int sum) {
if (root == NULL) return 0;
int res = 0;
vector<TreeNode*> path;
helper(root, sum, 0, res, path);
return res;
}
void helper(TreeNode* root, int sum, int currsum, int& res, vector<TreeNode*>& path) {
if (root == NULL) return;
currsum += root->val;
if (currsum == sum) res++;
path.push_back(root);
int temp = currsum;
for (int i = 0; i < path.size() - 1; i++) {
temp -= path[i]->val;
if (temp == sum) res++;
}
helper(root->left, sum, currsum, res, path);
helper(root->right, sum, currsum, res, path);
path.pop_back();
return;
}
};
方法三:优化方法二
方法二本质和方法一区别不大,还是做了很多重复的计算。我们想省去那些重复的计算,基本的路数就是把已有的计算结果存起来,重复使用。空间换时间。这里我们可以建一个hash table, 把之前的路径节点和对应的求和值存起来。
值得注意的是,得把hash[0]预置为1。否则会漏算掉从根节点开始的完整路径,不这么做也行,每次递归时判断一下currsum == sum就行,等于的话res++.
class Solution {
public:
int pathSum(TreeNode* root, int sum) {
int res = 0;
if (root == NULL) return res;
unordered_map<int, int> hash;
hash[0] = 1;
helper(root, sum, hash, 0, res);
return res;
}
void helper(TreeNode* root, int sum, unordered_map<int, int>& hash, int currsum, int& res) {
if (root == NULL) return;
currsum += root->val;
res += hash[currsum - sum];
hash[currsum]++;
helper(root->left, sum, hash, currsum, res);
helper(root->right, sum, hash, currsum, res);
hash[currsum]--;
return;
}
};
