Symmetric Tree

题目描述：

Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (ie, symmetric around its center).

For example, this binary tree is symmetric:

    1
   / \
  2   2
 / \ / \
3  4 4  3

But the following is not:

    1
   / \
  2   2
   \   \
   3    3

Note:
Bonus points if you could solve it both recursively and iteratively.

confused what "{1,#,2,3}" means? > read more on how binary tree is serialized on OJ.

思路：

可以考虑用2钟方法遍历树，第一种是先访问左子树再访问右子树最后访问根，得到一个输出。第二种是先访问右子树再访问左子树最后访问根，得到第二个输出。然后比较这2输出结果，如果是对称的结果也会是一样的（注意空节点也要输出一个数字，我随便设置了一个8888）。由于之前有过访问树的题，所以我直接用之前的代码改了，比较简单。但应该还有更好的办法。。。。

代码（python）：

# Definition for a  binary tree node
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution:
    # @param root, a tree node
    # @return a boolean
    def isSymmetric(self, root):
        leftout = self.postorderTraversal1(root)
        rightout = self.postorderTraversal2(root)
        if leftout == rightout:
            return True
        else:
            return False

    def postorderTraversal1(self,root):
        ans = []
        if root is None:
            return [8888]
        ans+=self.postorderTraversal1(root.left)
        ans+=self.postorderTraversal1(root.right)
        ans+= [root.val]
        return ans

    def postorderTraversal2(self,root):
        ans = []
        if root is None:
            return [8888]
        ans+=self.postorderTraversal2(root.right)
        ans+=self.postorderTraversal2(root.left)
        ans+= [root.val]
        return ans
