LeetCode Path Sum

Description

Given a binary tree and a sum, determine if the tree has a root-to-leaf path such that adding up all the values along the path equals the given sum.

For example:
Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,
5
/
4 8
/ /
11 13 4
/ \
7 2 1
return true, as there exist a root-to-leaf path 5->4->11->2 which sum is 22.

The original problem is here.

My Solution

I solve this problem in C++, as below:

/*
* Path Sum
*Author: shuaijiang

*/
#include<iostream>
#include<math.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };
 */

class Solution {
public:
    bool hasPathSum(TreeNode* root, int sum) {
        if(root == NULL)
            return false;
        return     sumNum(root,0,sum);
    }
    bool sumNum(TreeNode * root, int val,int sum){
        if(root == NULL)
            return false;    
        val = val + root->val;
        if(root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL){
            if(val == sum)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
        return (sumNum(root->left,val,sum) || sumNum(root->right,val,sum));
    }
};

Note

In the solution, recursion is needed. During these steps, we need compute the sum of all the values in the path.
