Javascript Solution For Path Sum III | Find the number of paths that sum to a given value
Path Sum III is an example of tree problems. In this post we will see how we can solve in Javascript.
Problem Description
You are given a binary tree in which each node contains an integer value. Find the number of paths that sum to a given value. The path does not need to start or end at the root or a leaf, but it must go downwards (traveling only from parent nodes to child nodes).
The tree has no more than 1,000 nodes and the values are in the range -1,000,000 to 1,000,000.
Example:
root = [10,5,-3,3,2,null,11,3,-2,null,1], sum = 8 10 / \ 5 -3 / \ \ 3 2 11 / \ \ 3 -2 1
Return 3. The paths that sum to 8 are:
- 5 -> 3
- 5 -> 2 -> 1
- -3 -> 11
