    Problem

    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
    

      Constraints:

    Solution

    /**
     * Definition for a binary tree node.
     * public class TreeNode {
     *     int val;
     *     TreeNode left;
     *     TreeNode right;
     *     TreeNode() {}
     *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
     *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
     *         this.val = val;
     *         this.left = left;
     *         this.right = right;
     *     }
     * }

        public int sumOfLeftLeaves(TreeNode root) {
            List<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<>();
            traverse(root, arr);

            if (root == null) {
                return;
            }
            if (root.left != null && root.left.left == null && root.left.right == null) {
                arr.add(root.left.val);
            }
            traverse(root.left, arr);
            traverse(root.right, arr);
        }
    
        private int getSum(List<Integer> arr) {
            int sum = 0;
            for (Integer integer : arr) {
                sum += integer;
            }
            return sum;
        }
    }
