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.
Sol 1:
/** * Definition for a binary tree node. * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ public class Solution { public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode root) { // Time O(n) Space O(n) // recursion return isMirror(root, root); } public boolean isMirror(TreeNode t1, TreeNode t2){ if (t1 == null && t2 == null) return true; if (t1 == null || t2 == null) return false; return (t1.val == t2.val) && isMirror(t1.right, t2.left) && isMirror(t1.left, t2.right); } }
Sol 2:
/** * Definition for a binary tree node. * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ public class Solution { public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode root) { // Time O(n) Space O(n) // iteration Queue<TreeNode> q = new LinkedList<>(); q.add(root); q.add(root); while (!q.isEmpty()){ TreeNode t1 = q.poll(); TreeNode t2 = q.poll(); if (t1 == null && t2 == null) continue; if (t1 == null || t2 == null) return false; if (t1.val != t2.val) return false; q.add(t1.left); q.add(t2.right); q.add(t1.right); q.add(t2.left); } return true; } }
