leetcode | Symmetric Tree

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.

OJ's Binary Tree Serialization:

The serialization of a binary tree follows a level order traversal, where '#' signifies a path terminator where no node exists below.

Here's an example:

   1
  / \
 2   3
    /
   4
    \
     5

The above binary tree is serialized as  "{1,2,3,#,#,4,#,#,5}".

/**
 * 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) {
        if(root==null)
            return true;
        else
            return isSame(root.left,root.right);
        
        
    }
    public boolean isSame(TreeNode l,TreeNode r)
    {
        if(l==null||r==null)
            return l==r;
        else
            return l.val==r.val&&isSame(l.left,r.right)&&isSame(l.right,r.left); 
    }
}
