[leetcode] problem 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.

Note

A leaf is a node with no children.

Example

Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
      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.

Code

public class  {
int val;
TreeNode left;

TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }

public boolean hasPathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) {

if (root.left == null && root.right == null)
return sum == root.val;

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