1302. Deepest Leaves Sum

Given the root of a binary tree, return the sum of values of its deepest leaves.

Example 1:

img

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5,null,6,7,null,null,null,null,8]
Output: 15

Example 2:

Input: root = [6,7,8,2,7,1,3,9,null,1,4,null,null,null,5]
Output: 19

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 104].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 100
/**
 * 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;
 *     }
 * }
