Solution:

As we recursively go to left and right , we replace child data , with root data, if the root is less than the root , so that while we come back the child of a node is always higher than the root. So that we can increment the root value(make it left +right data).

def changeTree(root): 
if root ==None:
return
left=0
right=0
if root.left!=None:
if root.left.data<root.data:
root.left.data=root.data
changeTree(root.left)
left=root.left.data
if root.right!=None:
if root.right.data<root.data:
root.right.data=root.data
changeTree(root.right)
right=root.right.data
if not (root.left==None and root.right==None):
root.data=left+right

Time:O(N)

Space:O(h)
