101. Symmetric Tree

Easy

Given the root of a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (i.e., symmetric around its center).

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,2,3,4,4,3]

Output: true

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,2,null,3,null,3]

Output: false

Constraints:

Follow up: Could you solve it both recursively and iteratively?

Solution

type TreeNode struct {
	Val   int
	Left  *TreeNode
	Right *TreeNode
}

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * type TreeNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Left *TreeNode
 *     Right *TreeNode
 * }
 */
func helper(left *TreeNode, right *TreeNode) bool {
	if left == nil && right == nil {
		return true
	}

	if left == nil || right == nil || left.Val != right.Val {
		return false
	}

	leftRes := helper(left.Left, right.Right)
	rightRes := helper(left.Right, right.Left)
	return leftRes && rightRes
}

func isSymmetric(root *TreeNode) bool {
	return helper(root.Left, root.Right)
}
