 # 0404 - Sum of Left Leaves (Easy)
@@ -38,27 +39,63 @@ Output: 0
 
 Following the template from [DFS Guide](../../tutorials/graph-theory/depth-first-search), we iterate to each node and check if it is a left leaf. If it is a left leaf, we return that value to its parent for cumulating the sum. The trick here is to add a `is_left` parameter to the `dfs` function.
