【LeetCode】 Check If a String Is a Valid Sequence from Root to Leaves Path in a Binary Tree

Description

Given a binary tree where each path going from the root to any leaf form a valid sequence, check if a given string is a valid sequence in such binary tree.

We get the given string from the concatenation of an array of integers arr and the concatenation of all values of the nodes along a path results in a sequence in the given binary tree.

Constraints:

• 1 <= arr.length <= 5000
• 0 <= arr[i] <= 9
• Each node's value is between [0 - 9].

給予一個二元樹，每個從樹根到樹葉的路徑都可以組成一段合法序列，檢查給予的字串是否和任意路徑的合法序列相同。

我們從整數陣列arr中得到給定的字串，且我們可以在二元樹中每個節點中的值組合起來得到一段序列。

限制：

• 1 <= arr.length <= 5000
• 0 <= arr[i] <= 9
• 每個節點中的值介於 [0 - 9].

Example:

Example 1:

Input: root = [0,1,0,0,1,0,null,null,1,0,0], arr = [0,1,0,1]
Output: true
Explanation: 
The path 0 -> 1 -> 0 -> 1 is a valid sequence (green color in the figure). 
Other valid sequences are: 
0 -> 1 -> 1 -> 0 
0 -> 0 -> 0



Example 2:

Input: root = [0,1,0,0,1,0,null,null,1,0,0], arr = [0,0,1]
Output: false 
Explanation: The path 0 -> 0 -> 1 does not exist, therefore it is not even a sequence.



Example 3:

Input: root = [0,1,0,0,1,0,null,null,1,0,0], arr = [0,1,1]
Output: false
Explanation: The path 0 -> 1 -> 1 is a sequence, but it is not a valid sequence.

Solution

• 用DFS去跑每個路徑查看是否吻合即可。
• 成功條件：
  • arr已經都配對完畢，且節點是樹葉。
• 剪枝條件：
  • arr已經都配對完畢，但節點不是樹葉。
  • 節點和arr不吻合。
  • 節點不存在(NULL)
