I absolutely love tree problems!

It had been a while since I had seen a fresh tree problem on Leetcode. This is a Medium one, but fairly straightforward - a direct implementation of a post-order depth-first-search traversal. Code is down below, cheers, ACC.

Count Nodes Equal to Sum of Descendants - LeetCode

1973. Count Nodes Equal to Sum of Descendants
Medium

Given the root of a binary tree, return the number of nodes where the value of the node is equal to the sum of the values of its descendants.

A descendant of a node x is any node that is on the path from node x to some leaf node. The sum is considered to be 0 if the node has no descendants.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [10,3,4,2,1]
Output: 2
Explanation:
For the node with value 10: The sum of its descendants is 3+4+2+1 = 10.
For the node with value 3: The sum of its descendants is 2+1 = 3.

Example 2:

Input: root = [2,3,null,2,null]
Output: 0
Explanation:
No node has a value that is equal to the sum of its descendants.

Example 3:

Input: root = [0]
Output: 1
For the node with value 0: The sum of its descendants is 0 since it has no descendants.

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 105].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 105

public int EqualToDescendants(TreeNode root)
{
    int sumDescendants = 0;
    int retVal = 0;

    EqualToDescendants(root, ref sumDescendants, ref retVal);
    return retVal;
}

private void EqualToDescendants(TreeNode currentNode, ref int sumDescendants, ref int retVal)
{
    if (currentNode == null)
    {
        sumDescendants = 0;
        return;
    }

    int sumDescendantsLeft = 0;
    EqualToDescendants(currentNode.left, ref sumDescendantsLeft, ref retVal);

    int sumDescendantsRight = 0;
    EqualToDescendants(currentNode.right, ref sumDescendantsRight, ref retVal);

    if (currentNode.val == sumDescendantsLeft + sumDescendantsRight)
    {
        retVal++;
    }

    sumDescendants = currentNode.val + sumDescendantsLeft + sumDescendantsRight;
}

Count Binary Substrings

-

Problem by Leetcode:  https://leetcode.com/problems/count-binary-substrings/description/ Give a string  s , count the number of non-empty (contiguous) substrings that have the same number of 0's and 1's, and all the 0's and all the 1's in these substrings are grouped consecutively. Substrings that occur multiple times are counted the number of times they occur. Example 1: Input: "00110011" Output: 6 Explanation: There are 6 substrings that have equal number of consecutive 1's and 0's: "0011", "01", "1100", "10", "0011", and "01". Notice that some of these substrings repeat and are counted the number of times they occur. Also, "00110011" is not a valid substring because all the 0's (and 1's) are not grouped together. Example 2: Input: "10101" Output: 4 Explanation: There are 4 substrings: "10", "01", "10", "01&

Count Vowels Permutation: Standard DP

Standard DP problem:  https://leetcode.com/problems/count-vowels-permutation/ Given an integer  n , your task is to count how many strings of length  n  can be formed under the following rules: Each character is a lower case vowel ( 'a' ,  'e' ,  'i' ,  'o' ,  'u' ) Each vowel  'a'  may only be followed by an  'e' . Each vowel  'e'  may only be followed by an  'a'  or an  'i' . Each vowel  'i'   may not  be followed by another  'i' . Each vowel  'o'  may only be followed by an  'i'  or a  'u' . Each vowel  'u'  may only be followed by an  'a'. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo  10^9 + 7. Example 1: Input: n = 1 Output: 5 Explanation: All possible strings are: "a", "e", "i" , "o" and "u". Example 2: Input: n = 2 Output: 10 Explanation: All possible strings are

#431 in my solved list:  https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-number-of-balloons/ Given a string  text , you want to use the characters of  text  to form as many instances of the word  "balloon"  as possible. You can use each character in  text   at most once . Return the maximum number of instances that can be formed.   Example 1: Input: text = "nlaebolko" Output: 1 Example 2: Input: text = "loonbalxballpoon" Output: 2 Example 3: Input: text = "leetcode" Output: 0 Constraints: 1 <= text.length <= 10^4 text  consists of lower case English letters only. Solution is as follows:  - Count the number of occurrences of the "balloon" letters in the input string  - For "l" and "o", divide the count by 2  - If the balloon string is not fully covered, return 0  - Return the min number across all occurrences Code is below, cheers, ACC. public class Solution {     public int M
