Sum Root to Leaf Numbers

Given a binary tree containing digits from 0-9 only, each root-to-leaf path could represent a number.

An example is the root-to-leaf path 1->2->3 which represents the number 123.

Find the total sum of all root-to-leaf numbers.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example:

Input: [1,2,3]
    1
   / \
  2   3
Output: 25
Explanation:
The root-to-leaf path 1->2 represents the number 12.
The root-to-leaf path 1->3 represents the number 13.
Therefore, sum = 12 + 13 = 25.

Example 2:

Input: [4,9,0,5,1]
    4
   / \
  9   0
 / \
5   1
Output: 1026
Explanation:
The root-to-leaf path 4->9->5 represents the number 495.
The root-to-leaf path 4->9->1 represents the number 491.
The root-to-leaf path 4->0 represents the number 40.
Therefore, sum = 495 + 491 + 40 = 1026.
class Solution {
    int result = 0;

    public void helper(TreeNode root, int sum) {
        if (root == null)
            return;
        if (root.left == null && root.right == null) {
            sum *= 10;
            result += sum + root.val;
            return;
        }
        sum *= 10;
        helper(root.left, sum + root.val);
        helper(root.right, sum + root.val);
    }

    public int sumNumbers(TreeNode root) {
        helper(root, 0);
        return result;
    }
}
