Work Step by Step

To achieve this, you can implement a recursive algorithm to traverse the binary tree and identify paths that sum to the specified value. Here's a Python example using a binary tree node structure: ```python class TreeNode: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value self.left = None self.right = None def print_paths_with_sum(root, target_sum): def find_paths(node, current_path, current_sum): if not node: return current_sum += node.value current_path.append(node.value) if current_sum == target_sum: print(current_path) find_paths(node.left, current_path.copy(), current_sum) find_paths(node.right, current_path.copy(), current_sum) if not root: return find_paths(root, [], 0) # Example usage: # Create a binary tree root = TreeNode(10) root.left = TreeNode(5) root.right = TreeNode(-3) root.left.left = TreeNode(3) root.left.right = TreeNode(1) root.right.right = TreeNode(11) root.left.left.left = TreeNode(3) root.left.left.right = TreeNode(-2) root.left.right.right = TreeNode(2) # Specify the target sum target_sum = 8 # Print paths with the specified sum print_paths_with_sum(root, target_sum) ``` This code defines a binary tree node class and a method `print_paths_with_sum` that recursively traverses the tree, finding and printing paths that sum to the specified value. The `find_paths` function is a helper function that does the recursive exploration.
