# Time:  O(n)

# You are given a binary tree in which each node contains an integer value.
#
# Find the number of paths that sum to a given value.
#
# The path does not need to start or end at the root or a leaf, 
# but it must go downwards (traveling only from parent nodes to child nodes).
#
# The tree has no more than 1,000 nodes and the values are in the range -1,000,000 to 1,000,000.
#
# Example:
#
# root = [10,5,-3,3,2,null,11,3,-2,null,1], sum = 8
#
#       10
#      /  \
#     5   -3
#   / \    \
#   3   2   11
#  / \   \
# 3  -2   1
#
# Return 3. The paths that sum to 8 are:
#
# 1.  5 -> 3
# 2.  5 -> 2 -> 1
# 3. -3 -> 11
