Given the root of a binary tree and an integer targetSum, return all root-to-leaf paths where each path's sum equals targetSum.

A leaf is a node with no children.

Example 1:

Input: root = [5,4,8,11,null,13,4,7,2,null,null,5,1], targetSum = 22
Output: [[5,4,11,2],[5,8,4,5]]

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,3], targetSum = 5
Output: []

Example 3:

Input: root = [1,2], targetSum = 0
Output: []

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 5000].
  • -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
  • -1000 <= targetSum <= 1000

[Java]

  1. create a result LinkedList, and a current list for each solution
  2. recursive to find the result list. Add the node into the current list, if there is a leaf node had the exact sum with target, add the list into the result.
  3. Remove the current list last node return the list.

4. It might be earlier to use ArrayList instead of LinkedList.
