Given the root of a binary tree, consider all root to leaf paths: paths from the root to any leaf. (A leaf is a node with no children.) A node is insufficient if every such root to leaf path intersecting this node has sum strictly less than limit. Delete all insufficient nodes simultaneously, and return the root of the resulting binary tree.

Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3,4,-99,-99,7,8,9,-99,-99,12,13,-99,14], limit = 1
Output: [1,2,3,4,null,null,7,8,9,null,14]Example 2:
Input: root = [5,4,8,11,null,17,4,7,1,null,null,5,3], limit = 22
Output: [5,4,8,11,null,17,4,7,null,null,null,5]Example 3:
Input: root = [1,2,-3,-5,null,4,null], limit = -1
Output: [1,null,-3,4]Note:
The given tree will have between 1 and 5000 nodes.
-10^5 <= node.val <= 10^5
-10^9 <= limit <= 10^9
DFS Algorithm: Passing the Limit From Root to Leaves
Let’s solve this in DFS (Depth First Search) Algorithm – which to be implemented in Recursion. The limit is passed down from the Root to the leaves. The terminating condition is when node is NULL which of course, we return NULL. And when node is a leaf node, we check if the value is small than the current limit – if yes, it is a insufficient node – which will be removed – return NULL.
Otherwise, recursively, we update the left and right child of the current node. And return NULL if both are NULL (meaning all the sub trees are removed).
C++:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | /** * 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: TreeNode* sufficientSubset(TreeNode* root, int limit) { if (!root) return root; if (root->left == nullptr && root->right == nullptr) { if (root->val < limit) return nullptr; return root; } root->left = sufficientSubset(root->left, limit - root->val); root->right = sufficientSubset(root->right, limit - root->val); return root->left || root->right ? root : nullptr; } }; |
/** * 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: TreeNode* sufficientSubset(TreeNode* root, int limit) { if (!root) return root; if (root->left == nullptr && root->right == nullptr) { if (root->val < limit) return nullptr; return root; } root->left = sufficientSubset(root->left, limit - root->val); root->right = sufficientSubset(root->right, limit - root->val); return root->left || root->right ? root : nullptr; } };
And Java:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | /** * Definition for a binary tree node. * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ class Solution { public TreeNode sufficientSubset(TreeNode root, int limit) { if (root == null) { return null; } if (root.left == root.right) { if (root.val < limit) { return null; } return root; } root.left = sufficientSubset(root.left, limit - root.val); root.right = sufficientSubset(root.right, limit - root.val); return root.left == root.right ? null : root; } } |
/** * Definition for a binary tree node. * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ class Solution { public TreeNode sufficientSubset(TreeNode root, int limit) { if (root == null) { return null; } if (root.left == root.right) { if (root.val < limit) { return null; } return root; } root.left = sufficientSubset(root.left, limit - root.val); root.right = sufficientSubset(root.right, limit - root.val); return root.left == root.right ? null : root; } }
We can test the equality for left and right node – if they are equal – then both nodes are NULL. The overall complexity is O(N) where N is the number of the nodes in the binary tree.
