1038. Binary Search Tree to Greater Sum Tree

Given the root of a binary search tree with distinct values, modify it so that every node has a new value equal to the sum of the values of the original tree that are greater than or equal to node.val.

As a reminder, a binary search tree is a tree that satisfies these constraints:

• The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
• The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node's key.
• Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Example 1:

Input: [4,1,6,0,2,5,7,null,null,null,3,null,null,null,8]
Output: [30,36,21,36,35,26,15,null,null,null,33,null,null,null,8]

Note:

1. The number of nodes in the tree is between 1 and 100.
2. Each node will have value between 0 and 100.
3. The given tree is a binary search tree.

Solutions (Python)

1. Inorder Traversal

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution:
    def bstToGst(self, root: TreeNode) -> TreeNode:
        stack = []
        curr = root
        sum = 0

        while stack or curr:
            while curr:
                stack.append(curr)
                curr = curr.right

            curr = stack.pop()
            sum += curr.val
            curr.val = sum

            curr = curr.left

        return root
