Solution: Sum of Path Numbers

Problem Statement

Given a binary tree where each node can only have a digit (0-9) value, each root-to-leaf path will represent a number. Find the total sum of all the numbers represented by all paths.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 1000].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 9
  • The depth of the tree will not exceed 10.

Solution

This problem follows the Binary Tree Path Sum pattern. We can follow the same DFS approach. The additional thing we need to do is to keep track of the number representing the current path.
