C# || Two Sum IV – How To Get Two Numbers In Binary Search Tree Equal To Target Value Using C#

October 09, 2022 admin No comments

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to get two numbers in a binary search tree equal to target value using C#.

1. Find Target – Problem Statement

Given the root of a Binary Search Tree and a target number k, return true if there exist two elements in the BST such that their sum is equal to the given target.

Example 1:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], k = 9 Output: true

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], k = 28 Output: false

2. Find Target – Solution

The following are two solutions which demonstrates how to get two numbers in a binary search tree equal to target value.

Both solutions use a set to keep track of the items already seen.

Each time a new node is encountered, we subtract the target value from the current node value. If the difference amount from subtracting the two numbers exists in the set, a 2 sum combination exists in the tree

1. Recursive

The following solution uses Depth First Search when looking for the target value.

        // Get remaining value
        var remaining = k - node.val;

        // Check if remaining value has been seen
        if (seen.Contains(remaining)) {
            return true;
        }
        // Add current node value to items seen
        seen.Add(node.val);

        // Keep traversing left and right looking for 2 sum
        return Traverse(node.left, k, seen) || Traverse(node.right, k, seen);
    }

2. Iterative

The following solution uses Breadth First Search when looking for the target value.
