Binary Tree Pruning

Given the root of a binary tree, return the same tree where every subtree (of the given tree) not containing a 1 has been removed.

A subtree of a node node is node plus every node that is a descendant of node.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,null,0,0,1]
Output: [1,null,0,null,1]
Explanation:
Only the red nodes satisfy the property "every subtree not containing a 1".
The diagram on the right represents the answer.

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,0,1,0,0,0,1]
Output: [1,null,1,null,1]

Example 3:

Input: root = [1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0]
Output: [1,1,0,1,1,null,1]

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 200].
  • Node.val is either 0 or 1.

SOLUTION:

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.left = left
#         self.right = right
class Solution:
    def hasOne(self, root):
        if root:
            if root.val == 1:
                return True
            if self.hasOne(root.left) or self.hasOne(root.right):
                return True
        return False

    def pruneTree(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> Optional[TreeNode]:
        if not self.hasOne(root):
            return None
        root.left = self.pruneTree(root.left)
        root.right = self.pruneTree(root.right)
        return root
