Diagonal Sum of a Binary Tree

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 24 Sep, 2021

Consider lines of slope -1 passing between nodes (dotted lines in below diagram). The diagonal sum in a binary tree is the sum of all node’s data lying between these lines. Given a Binary Tree, print all diagonal sums.
For the following input tree, the output should be 9, 19, 42.
9 is sum of 1, 3 and 5.
19 is sum of 2, 6, 4 and 7.
42 is sum of 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Method 1

Algorithm:
The idea is to keep track of vertical distance from top diagonal passing through the root. We increment the vertical distance we go down to next diagonal.

Add root with vertical distance as 0 to the queue.
Process the sum of all right child and right of the right child and so on.
Add left child current node into the queue for later processing. The vertical distance of the left child is the vertical distance of current node plus 1.
Keep doing 2nd, 3rd and 4th step till the queue is empty.

Following is the implementation of the above idea.

struct Node
{
    int data;
    struct Node* left;

struct Node* newNode(int data)
{
    struct Node* Node =
            (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
     
    Node->data = data;
    Node->left = Node->right = NULL;
 
    return Node;
}
 
// root - root of the binary tree
// vd - vertical distance diagonally
// diagonalSum - map to store Diagonal
// Sum(Passed by Reference)
void diagonalSumUtil(struct Node* root,
                int vd, map<int, int> &diagonalSum)
{
    if(!root)
        return;
         
    diagonalSum[vd] += root->data;
 
    // increase the vertical distance if left child
    diagonalSumUtil(root->left, vd + 1, diagonalSum);
 
    // vertical distance remains same for right child
    diagonalSumUtil(root->right, vd, diagonalSum);
}
 
// Function to calculate diagonal
// sum of given binary tree
void diagonalSum(struct Node* root)
{
 
    // create a map to store Diagonal Sum
    map<int, int> diagonalSum;
     
    diagonalSumUtil(root, 0, diagonalSum);
 
    map<int, int>::iterator it;
        cout << "Diagonal sum in a binary tree is - ";
     
    for(it = diagonalSum.begin();
                it != diagonalSum.end(); ++it)
    {
        cout << it->second << " ";

Output

Diagonal sum in a binary tree is - 9 19 42

Exercise:
This problem was for diagonals from top to bottom and slope -1. Try the same problem for slope +1.

Method 2:

The idea behind this method is inspired by the diagonal relation in matrices. We can observe that all the elements lying on the same diagonal in a matrix have their difference of row and column same. For instance, consider the main diagonal in a square matrix, we can observe the difference of the respective row and column indices of each element on diagonal is same, i.e. each element on the main diagonal have the difference of row and column 0, eg: 0-0, 1-1, 2-2,…n-n.

Similarly, every diagonal has its own unique difference of rows and column, and with the help of this, we can identify each element, that to which diagonal it belongs.

The same idea is applied to solve this problem-

We will treat the level of the tree nodes as their row indices, and width of the tree nodes as their column indices.
We will denote the cell of each node as (level, width)

Example- (Taking the same tree as above)

Nodes	Level Index	Width Index
1	0	0
2	1	-1
3	1	1
4	2	0
5	2	2
6	2	0
7	3	1
9	2	-2
10	3	-1
11	3	-1
12	3	-1

To help you visualize let’s draw a matrix, the first row and first column, are respective width and level indices-

	-2	-1	0	1	2
0			1
1		2		3
2	9		6+4		5
3		10+11+12		7

Time Complexity- O(n)

Method – 3

No Need to used Map for extra space.

space – o(n), queue used for left node left element for later processing
