# Two Sum BSTs in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Suppose we have two binary search trees, we have to return True iff there is a node in the first tree and a node in the second tree and sum of these nodes is a given integer target. So if the tree is like −

and target is 5, then the result is true.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• Define a map s
• define a method called check(), this will take node, target and nodeNumber, this will work as follows −
• if node is valid, then return false
• curr := value of node, req := target – curr
• if req is present in s and s[req] is not nodeNumber, then return true
• s[curr] := nodeNumber
• return check(left of node, target, nodeNumber) OR check(right of node, target, nodeNumber)
• In the main method, we will set −
• flag := check(root1, target, 1)
• return check(root2, target, 2)

## Example

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

class Solution {
public:
map <int,int> s;
bool check(TreeNode* node, int target,int nodeNumber){
if(!node)return false;
int curr = node->val;
int req = target - curr;
if(s.find(req)!=s.end() &&s[req]!=nodeNumber)return true;
s[curr]=nodeNumber;
return check(node->left,target,nodeNumber) || check(node->right,target,nodeNumber);
}
bool twoSumBSTs(TreeNode* root1, TreeNode* root2, int target) {
bool flag = check(root1,target,1);
return check(root2,target,2);
}
};

## Input

[2,1,4]
[1,0,3]
5

## Output

true
