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.
 * class TreeNode {
 *   int val;
 *   TreeNode? left;
 *   TreeNode? right;
 *   TreeNode([this.val = 0, this.left, this.right]);
 * }
 */
class Solution {
  bool isSymmetric(TreeNode? root) {
    if (root == null) {
      return true;
    }
    return _helper(root.left, root.right);
  }

  bool _helper(TreeNode? leftNode, TreeNode? rightNode) {
    if (leftNode == null || rightNode == null) {
      return leftNode == null && rightNode == null;
    }
    if (leftNode.val != rightNode.val) {
      return false;
    }
    return _helper(leftNode.left, rightNode.right) && _helper(leftNode.right, rightNode.left);
  }
}
