Description
Given the root of a binary tree and an integer targetSum, return the number of paths where the sum of the values along the path equals targetSum.
The path does not need to start or end at the root or a leaf, but it must go downwards (i.e., traveling only from parent nodes to child nodes).
Example 1:
Input: root = [10,5,-3,3,2,null,11,3,-2,null,1], targetSum = 8
Output: 3
Explanation: The paths that sum to 8 are shown.
Example 2:
Input: root = [5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,5,1], targetSum = 22
Output: 3
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[0, 1000].
-109 <= Node.val <= 109-1000 <= targetSum <= 1000
Solutions
Solution 1: Hash Table + Prefix Sum + Recursion
We can use the idea of prefix sums to recursively traverse the binary tree while using a hash table cnt to count the occurrences of each prefix sum along the path from the root to the current node.
We design a recursive function dfs(node, s), where node represents the current node being traversed, and s represents the prefix sum along the path from the root to the current node. The return value of the function is the number of paths ending at node or its subtree nodes with a sum equal to targetSum. The final answer is dfs(root, 0).
The recursive process of dfs(node, s) is as follows:
- If the current node node is null, return 0.
- Calculate the prefix sum s along the path from the root to the current node.
- Use cnt[s - targetSum] to represent the number of paths ending at the current node with a sum equal to targetSum. Here, cnt[s - targetSum] is the count of prefix sums equal to s - targetSum in cnt.
- Increment the count of the prefix sum s by 1, i.e., cnt[s] = cnt[s] + 1.
- Recursively traverse the left and right child nodes of the current node by calling dfs(node.left, s) and dfs(node.right, s), and add their return values.
- After the return value is calculated, decrement the count of the prefix sum s by 1, i.e., cnt[s] = cnt[s] - 1.
- Finally, return the result.
The time complexity is O(n), and the space complexity is O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the binary tree.
