/* Author: Annie Kim, anniekim.pku@gmail.com Date: Apr 6, 2013 Update: Jul 26, 2013 Problem: Path Sum Difficulty: easy Source: http://www.leetcode.com/onlinejudge Notes: 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. For example: Given the below binary tree and sum = 22, 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. Solution: Recursion. */ /** * Definition for binary tree * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ public class Solution { public boolean hasPathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) { if (root == null) return false; if (root.left == null && root.right == null) return sum == root.val; return hasPathSum(root.left, sum - root.val) || hasPathSum(root.right, sum - root.val); } }
