    Problem

    Given the root of a binary tree, return **the sum of values of nodes with an *even-valued grandparent***. If there are no nodes with an *even-valued grandparent*, return 0.

    A grandparent of a node is the parent of its parent if it exists.

      Example 1:

    Input: root = [6,7,8,2,7,1,3,9,null,1,4,null,null,null,5]
    Output: 18
    Explanation: The red nodes are the nodes with even-value grandparent while the blue nodes are the even-value grandparents.
    

    Example 2:

    Input: root = [1]
    Output: 0
    

      Constraints:

    Solution (Java)

    /**
     * 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;
     *     }
     * }

    class Solution {
        public int sumEvenGrandparent(TreeNode root) {
            if (root == null) {
                return 0;
            }
            return dfs(root, root.left, 0) + dfs(root, root.right, 0);
        }
    
        private int dfs(TreeNode grandparent, TreeNode parent, int sum) {
            if (grandparent == null || parent == null) {
                return sum;
            }
            if (grandparent.val % 2 == 0 && parent.left != null) {
                sum += parent.left.val;
            }
            if (grandparent.val % 2 == 0 && parent.right != null) {
                sum += parent.right.val;
            }
            sum = dfs(parent, parent.left, sum);
            sum = dfs(parent, parent.right, sum);
            return sum;
        }
    }
