Algorithm

404. Sum of Left Leaves

Description

Find the sum of all left leaves in a given binary tree.

Example:

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

There are two left leaves in the binary tree, with values 9 and 15 respectively. Return 24.

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode() {}
 *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = left;
 *         this.right = right;
 *     }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public int sumOfLeftLeaves(TreeNode root) {
        if(root==null){
          return 0;
        }
        if(root.left!=null&&root.left.left==null&&root.left.right==null){
          return root.left.val + sumOfLeftLeaves(root.right);
        }
        return sumOfLeftLeaves(root.left) + sumOfLeftLeaves(root.right);
    }
}

Discuss

大体上分为判断有没有左节点和有没有右节点。如果有左节点,看左节点有没有子节点,没有(即左叶子节点)则直接用起值去加,有则继续对左节点递归。如果有右节点,且右节点有子节点,则对右节点递归,否则不管是没有右节点还是右节点没有子节点(即右叶子节点)都直接看做加0。需要注意的是如果本身节点自己是null,要返回0。另外如果只有根节点自己,也要返回0,因为题目说的是左叶子节点,根节点是不算的。最后要注意的就是在判断所有节点的子节点或者值之前,要对该节点本身是否为null做出判断,否则会有错误的。
