Path Sum III in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Suppose we have given a binary tree in which each node holds an integer key. We have to find the paths that sum to a given value. The path should start from root to leaf. We have to find the path where the sum is same.

If the tree is like [5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,5,1], and sum is 22, then it will be −

The paths are [[5,4,11,2],[5,8,4,5]].

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• Use the dfs function to solve this problem, the dfs is slightly modified, this will work as follows. This function will take the root, sum, and one temp array
• if root is not present, then return
• if left of root and right of root are empty, then
• if sum = value of root, then
• insert value of root into temp, insert temp into result, and delete the last node from the temp
• return
• insert value of root into the temp
• dfs(left of root, sum – value of root, temp)
• dfs(right of root, sum – value of root, temp)
• delete the last element from temp

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

Input

[5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,5,1]
22

Output

[[5, 4, 11, 2, ],[5, 8, 4, 5, ],]
