Given a binary tree, find if there is a pair in root to a leaf path such that sum of values in pair is equal to root’s data. For example, in below tree there are no pairs in any root to leaf path with sum equal to root’s data.

The idea is based on hashing and tree traversal. The idea is similar to method 2 of array pair sum problem.

  • Create an empty hash table.
  • Start traversing tree in Preorder fashion.
  • If we reach a leaf node, we return false.
  • For every visited node, check if root’s data minus current node’s data exists in hash table or not. If yes, return true. Else insert current node in hash table.
  • Recursively check in left and right subtrees.
  • Remove current node from hash table so that it doesn’t appear in other root to leaf paths.

Below is the implementation of above idea. 

C++




// C++ program to find if there is a pair in any root
// to leaf path with sum equals to root's key.
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
/* A binary tree node has data, pointer to left child
and a pointer to right child */
struct Node
{
    int data;
    struct Node* left, *right;
};
  
/* utility that allocates a new node with the
given data and NULL left and right pointers. */
struct Node* newnode(int data)
{
    struct Node* node = new Node;
    node->data = data;
    node->left = node->right  = NULL;
    return (node);
}
  
// Function to print root to leaf path which satisfies the condition
bool printPathUtil(Node *node, unordered_set<int> &s, int root_data)
{
    // Base condition
    if (node == NULL)
        return false;
  
    // Check if current node makes a pair with any of the
    // existing elements in set.
    int rem = root_data - node->data;
    if (s.find(rem) != s.end())
        return true;
  
    // Insert current node in set
    s.insert(node->data);
  
    // If result returned by either left or right child is
    // true, return true.
    bool res = printPathUtil(node->left, s, root_data) ||
               printPathUtil(node->right, s, root_data);
  
    // Remove current node from hash table
    s.erase(node->data);
  
    return res;
}
  
// A wrapper over printPathUtil()
bool isPathSum(Node *root)
{
   // create an empty hash table 
   unordered_set<int> s;
  
   // Recursively check in left and right subtrees.
   return printPathUtil(root->left, s, root->data) ||
          printPathUtil(root->right, s, root->data);
}
  
// Driver program to run the case
int main()
{
    struct Node *root = newnode(8);
    root->left    = newnode(5);
    root->right   = newnode(4);
    root->left->left = newnode(9);
    root->left->right = newnode(7);
    root->left->right->left = newnode(1);
    root->left->right->right = newnode(12);
    root->left->right->right->right = newnode(2);
    root->right->right = newnode(11);
    root->right->right->left = newnode(3);
    isPathSum(root)? cout << "Yes" : cout << "No";
    return 0;
}

Output

Yes

Time Complexity: O(n) under the assumption that hash search, insert and erase take O(1) time.
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Exercise : Extend the above solution to print all root to leaf paths that have a pair with sum equals to root’s data.
