Given a binary tree, write a function that returns true if the tree satisfies below property.
For every node, data value must be equal to sum of data values in left and right children. Consider data value as 0 for NULL children. Below tree is an example
Algorithm:
Traverse the given binary tree. For each node check (recursively) if the node and both its children satisfy the Children Sum Property, if so then return true else return false.
Implementation:
C++
/* Program to check children sum property */ #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* A binary tree node has data, left child and right child */ struct node { int data; struct node* left; struct node* right; }; /* returns 1 if children sum property holds for the given node and both of its children*/ int isSumProperty( struct node* node) { /* left_data is left child data and right_data is for right child data*/ int sum = 0; /* If node is NULL or it's a leaf node then return true */ if (node == NULL || (node->left == NULL && node->right == NULL)) return 1; else { /* If left child is not present then 0 is used as data of left child */ if (node->left != NULL) sum += node->left->data; /* If right child is not present then 0 is used as data of right child */ if (node->right != NULL) sum+ = node->right->data; /* if the node and both of its children satisfy the property return 1 else 0*/ return ((node->data == sum)&& isSumProperty(node->left) && isSumProperty(node->right)) } } /* Helper function that allocates a new node with the given data and NULL left and right pointers. */ struct node* newNode( int data) { struct node* node = ( struct node*) malloc ( sizeof ( struct node)); node->data = data; node->left = NULL; node->right = NULL; return (node); } // Driver Code int main() { struct node *root = newNode(10); root->left = newNode(8); root->right = newNode(2); root->left->left = newNode(3); root->left->right = newNode(5); root->right->right = newNode(2); if (isSumProperty(root)) cout << "The given tree satisfies " << "the children sum property " ; else cout << "The given tree does not satisfy " << "the children sum property " ; getchar (); return 0; } // This code is contributed by Akanksha Rai |

Output:
The given tree satisfies the children sum property
Time Complexity: O(n), we are doing a complete traversal of the tree.
As an exercise, extend the above question for an n-ary tree.
This question was asked by Shekhar.
Please write comments if you find any bug in the above algorithm or a better way to solve the same problem.
