437. Path Sum III

Medium

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:

Solution

function pathSum(root: TreeNode | null, targetSum: number): number {
    let count = 0
    let map = new Map<number, number>()

    function dfs(node: TreeNode | null, currentSum: number): void {
        if (!node) {
            return
        }
        currentSum += node.val
        if (currentSum === targetSum) {
            count++
        }
        count += map.get(currentSum - targetSum) ?? 0
        map.set(currentSum, map.get(currentSum) + 1 || 1)
        dfs(node?.left, currentSum)
        dfs(node?.right, currentSum)
        //remove from hashmap
        map.set(currentSum, map.get(currentSum) - 1)
        if (map.get(currentSum) === 0) {
            map.delete(currentSum)
        }
    }

    dfs(root, 0)
    return count
}

export { pathSum }
