{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "1450", "questionFrontendId": "1325", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Delete Leaves With a Given Value", "titleSlug": "delete-leaves-with-a-given-value", "content": "

Given a binary tree root and an integer target, delete all the leaf nodes with value target.

\n\n

Note that once you delete a leaf node with value target, if its parent node becomes a leaf node and has the value target, it should also be deleted (you need to continue doing that until you cannot).

Example 1:

\n\n

\"\"

\n\n
\nInput: root = [1,2,3,2,null,2,4], target = 2\nOutput: [1,null,3,null,4]\nExplanation: Leaf nodes in green with value (target = 2) are removed (Picture in left). \nAfter removing, new nodes become leaf nodes with value (target = 2) (Picture in center).\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n

\"\"

\n\n
\nInput: root = [1,3,3,3,2], target = 3\nOutput: [1,3,null,null,2]\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n

\"\"

\n\n
\nInput: root = [1,2,null,2,null,2], target = 2\nOutput: [1]\nExplanation: Leaf nodes in green with value (target = 2) are removed at each step.\n
