Question:
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
Solution:
直接DFS,算是一种暴力求解方法,在pathSum
中尝试以每个节点作为根节点往下遍历。在help
中不断往下遍历试图找到val==sum
的节点,注意在help
中sum
会随着往下遍历一直变化。
从遍历的次数来看,肯定存在重复冗余的遍历,就是不知道要怎么做才能以空间换时间。
