# 129. Sum Root to Leaf Numbers ###### tags: `leetcode` ## Problem Statement You are given the root of a binary tree containing digits from 0 to 9 only. Each root-to-leaf path in the tree represents a number. For example, the root-to-leaf path 1 -> 2 -> 3 represents the number 123. Return the total sum of all root-to-leaf numbers. Test cases are generated so that the answer will fit in a 32-bit integer. A leaf node is a node with no children. - Example 1: ![](https://i.imgur.com/jhPjhrI.png) >Input: root = [1,2,3] Output: 25 Explanation: The root-to-leaf path 1->2 represents the number 12. The root-to-leaf path 1->3 represents the number 13. Therefore, sum = 12 + 13 = 25. - Example 2: ![](https://i.imgur.com/ftF5fJE.png) > Input: root = [4,9,0,5,1] Output: 1026 Explanation: The root-to-leaf path 4->9->5 represents the number 495. The root-to-leaf path 4->9->1 represents the number 491. The root-to-leaf path 4->0 represents the number 40. Therefore, sum = 495 + 491 + 40 = 1026. - 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 is a simple traverse of treenode - Everytime when traversing to the new child, update the original value by multiplying 10 and add the child node value, just like the calculation of decimal number. - Then traverse through leaf to add one the child node value ```cpp= int sumNum(TreeNode* root, int sum) { sum = sum * 10 + root->val; if (root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL) return sum; int ans = 0; if (root->left != NULL) ans = sumNum(root->left, sum); if (root->right != NULL) ans += sumNum(root->right, sum); return ans; } ```
