Given a binary tree and a sum, find all root-to-leaf paths where each path’s sum equals the given sum. Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example:
Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,

      5
     / \
    4   8
   /   / \
  11  13  4
 /  \    / \
7    2  5   1

Return:

1
2
3
4

[
   [5,4,11,2],
   [5,8,4,5]
]
[
   [5,4,11,2],
   [5,8,4,5]
]

This is yet another classic tree puzzle that can be solved via either Depth First Search (DFS) or Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm.

Breadth First Search Algorithm of Finding Path Sum

The BFS searches the tree level-by-level, via the use of a queue. A node in the tree contains three information: the current node, the path till this point, and the remaining sum.

When the remaining sum is zero and the node is a leaf, then we push the path to the result array. While the queue still has nodes, we pop one from the queue and push its children if any to the end of the queue.

If you are using Javascript, please note that you may need to clone the path array.

        if (cur.right) q.push([cur.right, path.slice(), sum]);
    }
    return ans;
};

The following is a C++ implementation of the BFS algorithm where we use a std::tuple to store more than two information in a node. If there are two types of information, we can use std::pair instead.

Depth First Search Algorithm of Finding Path Sum

The DFS often finds a path quicker than the BFS. And a DFS is often implemented as a recursion. See below local recursive function dfs in Javascript solution.

Similarly, the C++ DFS implementation is done via recursion.

All four implementations run at O(N) time and O(N) space, where N is the number of nodes in the tree.
