LeetCode 112. Path Sum (javascript)

Given the root of a binary tree and an integer targetSum, return true if the tree has a root-to-leaf path such that adding up all the values along the path equals targetSum.

leaf is a node with no children.

Example 1:

Input: root = [5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,null,1], targetSum = 22
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,3], targetSum = 5
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: root = [1,2], targetSum = 0
Output: false

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 5000].
  • -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
  • -1000 <= targetSum <= 1000

Solution: (Recursion)

  • Time complexity: O(n)
  • Space complexity: O(n)
