[LeetCode] 112. Path Sum

Given a binary tree and a sum, determine if the tree has a root-to-leaf path such that adding up all the values along the path equals the given sum.
For example:
Given the below binary tree and sum = 22,
              5
             / \
            4   8
           /   / \
          11  13  4
         /  \      \
        7    2      1
return true, as there exist a root-to-leaf path 5->4->11->2 which sum is 22.

Thought process:
Traverse all root-to-leaf paths.

/**

 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public boolean hasPathSum(TreeNode root, int sum) {
        if (root == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if (root.left == null && root.right == null && sum - root.val == 0) {
            return true;
        }
        
        return hasPathSum(root.left, sum - root.val) || hasPathSum(root.right, sum - root.val);
    }
}

Time complexity: O(2^h) where h = height of the tree.
