404. Sum of Left Leaves (Easy)

Posted 2020-10-06 Yancea --- TO BE A DOER !

Find the sum of all left leaves in a given binary tree.

Example:

    3
   /   9  20
    /     15   7

There are two left leaves in the binary tree, with values 9 and 15 respectively. Return 24.

题意：计算所有左叶子的和
思路：遍历二叉树 

1.检查当前节点的左子节点是否是左子叶；
2.若是叶子节点，则返回左子叶的值加上对当前结点的右子节点调用递归的结果；
3.若不是叶子结点，我们对左右子节点分别调用递归函数，返回二者之和；

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode():
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution():
    def sumOfLeftLeaves(self, root):
        """
        :type root: TreeNode
        :rtype: int
        """
        ans = 0
        l, r = root.left, root.right
        if root:
            if l and (l.left or l.right) is None:
                ans += l.val
            ans += self.sumOfLeftLeaves(l) + self.sumOfLeftLeaves(r)
        return ans
