Given the root of a binary tree, return the sum of all left leaves.

A leaf is a node with no children. A left leaf is a leaf that is the left child of another node.

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 24
Explanation: There are two left leaves in the binary tree, with values 9 and 15 respectively.

Example 2:

Input: root = [1]
Output: 0

Solution

class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
        self.val = val
        self.left = left
        self.right = right
        
class Solution:
    def sumOfLeftLeaves(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        self.S = 0
        if not root:
            return 0
        
        def dfs(root, x):
            if not root.left and not root.right:
                if x == 'left':
                    self.S += root.val
            if root.left:
                dfs(root.left, 'left')
            if root.right:
                dfs(root.right, 'right')
        
        dfs(root, '')
        return self.S
