[Solved] 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.

Question

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.

Python 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
def prune(root,parent):
    if root==None:return
    
    prune(root.left,root)
    prune(root.right,root)
    if root.left==None and root.right==None and root.val==0:
        if parent.left == root:
            parent.left = None
        else:    
            parent.right = None
    

class Solution:
    def pruneTree(self, root: TreeNode) -> TreeNode:
        prune(root,None)
        return root
