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

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
 *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {TreeNode} root
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var isSymmetric = function isSymmetric(root) {
    if (!root) {
        return true
    }
    return helper(root.left, root.right)
};

var helper = function(leftNode, rightNode) {
    if (!leftNode || !rightNode) {
        return leftNode === null && rightNode === null
    }
    if (leftNode.val !== rightNode.val) {
        return false
    }
    return helper(leftNode.left, rightNode.right) && helper(leftNode.right, rightNode.left)
};

export { isSymmetric }
