508. Most Frequent Subtree Sum

Description

Given the root of a binary tree, return the most frequent subtree sum. If there is a tie, return all the values with the highest frequency in any order.

The subtree sum of a node is defined as the sum of all the node values formed by the subtree rooted at that node (including the node itself).

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [5,2,-3]
Output: [2,-3,4]

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,2,-5]
Output: [2]

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 104].
  • -105 <= Node.val <= 105

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table + DFS

We can use a hash table $\textit{cnt}$ to record the frequency of each subtree sum. Then, we use depth-first search (DFS) to traverse the entire tree, calculate the sum of elements for each subtree, and update $\textit{cnt}$.

Finally, we traverse $\textit{cnt}$ to find all subtree sums that appear most frequently.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the number of nodes in the binary tree.
