Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (ie, symmetric around its center).
For example, this binary tree [1,2,2,3,4,4,3]
is symmetric:
1 / \ 2 2 / \ / \ 3 4 4 3
But the following [1,2,2,null,3,null,3]
is not:
1 / \ 2 2 \ \ 3 3
Note:
Bonus points if you could solve it both recursively and iteratively.
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.left = None
# self.right = None
class Solution:
def isSymmetric2(self, l: TreeNode, r: TreeNode) -> bool:
if l is None and r is None:
return True
if l is None or r is None:
return False
if l.val == r.val:
return self.isSymmetric2(l.left, r.right) and self.isSymmetric2(l.right, r.left)
def isSymmetric(self, root: TreeNode) -> bool:
if root is None:
return True
return self.isSymmetric2(root.left, root.right)
