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.
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class Solution {
public boolean recursive(TreeNode left, TreeNode right){
if( left == null && right == null )
return true;
if( left == null || right == null )
return false;
if( left.val != right.val )
return false;
return recursive(left.left,right.right)&&recursive(left.right,right.left);
}
public boolean iterative(TreeNode root){
LinkedList<TreeNode> leftQueue = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
LinkedList<TreeNode> rightQueue = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
leftQueue.add(root.left);
rightQueue.add(root.right);
while( !leftQueue.isEmpty() && !rightQueue.isEmpty() ){
TreeNode currLeft; TreeNode currRight;
currLeft = leftQueue.remove();
currRight = rightQueue.remove();
if( currLeft == null && currRight == null )
continue;
if( currLeft == null || currRight == null )
return false;
if( currLeft.val != currRight.val )
return false;
leftQueue.add(currLeft.left);leftQueue.add(currLeft.right);
rightQueue.add(currRight.right);rightQueue.add(currRight.left);
}
return true;
}
public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode root) {
if( root == null )
return true;
return recursive(root.left, root.right);
// return iterative(root);
}
}
