Depth-First Search pattern

Binary Tree Tilt

Given the root of a binary tree, return the sum of every node's tilt, where a node's tilt is the absolute difference between the total value of its left subtree and the total value of its right subtree. Watch it run step by step, then write your own pseudocode and get it checked by AI.
