Leetcode Binary Tree Paths problem solution

In this Leetcode Binary Tree Paths problem solution we have given the root of a binary tree, return all root-to-leaf paths in any order. A leaf is a node with no children.

Problem solution in Python.

class Solution:
    def binaryTreePaths(self, root: TreeNode) -> List[str]:
        if root is None:
            return []
        path = str(root.val)
        res = []
        self.traverse(root,path,res)
        return res
    
    def traverse(self, root, path, res):
        if root.left is None and root.right is None:
            res.append(path)
        if root.left is not None:
            self.traverse(root.left, path+"->"+str(root.left.val), res)
        if root.right is not None:
            self.traverse(root.right, path+"->"+str(root.right.val), res)

Problem solution in Java.

public class Solution {
public List<String> binaryTreePaths(TreeNode root) {
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    if(root == null)  return list;
    StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
    binaryHelper(root,list,str);
    return list;
}

private void binaryHelper(TreeNode root, List<String> list, StringBuilder str){
    if(root == null) return;
    StringBuilder newStr = new StringBuilder(str);
    if(newStr.length() != 0)
        newStr.append("->");
    newStr.append(root.val);
    if(root.left == null && root.right == null)
    {
        list.add(newStr.toString());
        return;
    }
        binaryHelper(root.left,list,newStr);
        binaryHelper(root.right,list,newStr);
}
}

Problem solution in C++.

            vector<string> righty= binaryTreePaths(root->right);
            vector<string> ans;
            string rooty=to_string(root->val);
            int l=lefty.size(), r=righty.size();
            if(l==0 and r==0) 
            {
                vector<string> v;
                v.push_back(rooty);
                return v;
            }
            for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
            {
                string s=rooty+"->"+lefty[i];
                ans.push_back(s);
            }
             for(int i=0;i<r;i++)
            {
                string s=rooty+"->"+righty[i];
                ans.push_back(s);
            }
            return ans;
        }
