Find a pair with given sum in BST

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 01 Jul, 2021

Given a BST and a sum, find if there is a pair with given sum.

Example:

Input : sum = 28
        Root of below tree

Output : Pair is found (16, 12)

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE” first, before moving on to the solution

We have discussed different approaches to find a pair with given sum in below post.Find a pair with given sum in a Balanced BST
In this post, hashing based solution is discussed. We traverse binary search tree by inorder way and insert node’s value into a set. Also check for any node, difference between given sum and node’s value in set, if it is found then pair exists otherwise it doesn’t exist.

C++

// CPP program to find a pair with
// given sum using hashing
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node *left, *right;
};
 
Node* NewNode(int data)
{
    Node* temp = (Node*)malloc(sizeof(Node));
    temp->data = data;
    temp->left = NULL;
    temp->right = NULL;
    return temp;
}
 
Node* insert(Node* root, int key)
{
    if (root == NULL)
        return NewNode(key);
    if (key < root->data)
        root->left = insert(root->left, key);
    else
        root->right = insert(root->right, key);
    return root;
}
 
bool findpairUtil(Node* root, int sum,
                  unordered_set<int>& set)
{
    if (root == NULL)
        return false;
 
    if (findpairUtil(root->left, sum, set))
        return true;
 
    if (set.find(sum - root->data) != set.end()) {
        cout << "Pair is found (" << sum - root->data
             << ", " << root->data << ")" << endl;
        return true;
    }
    else
        set.insert(root->data);
 
    return findpairUtil(root->right, sum, set);
}
 
void findPair(Node* root, int sum)
{
    unordered_set<int> set;
    if (!findpairUtil(root, sum, set))
        cout << "Pairs do not exit" << endl;
}

    Node* root = NULL;

    root = insert(root, 20);

    root = insert(root, 12);
    root = insert(root, 16);
    root = insert(root, 25);
    root = insert(root, 10);
 
    int sum = 33;
    findPair(root, sum);
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

Pair is found (8, 25)

Time Complexity :O(n).
