101. Symmetric Tree

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

For example, this binary tree [1,2,2,3,4,4,3] is symmetric:

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

But the following [1,2,2,null,3,null,3] is not:

    1
   / \
  2   2
   \   \
   3    3

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

 

Python

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

class Solution(object):
    def isSymmetric(self, root):
        """
        :type root: TreeNode
        :rtype: bool
        """
        return self.isMirror(root, root)

    def isMirror(self, t1, t2):
        if t1 is None and t2 is None:
            return True
        elif t1 is None or t2 is None:
            return False
        return t1.val == t2.val and self.isMirror(t1.right, t2.left) and self.isMirror(t1.left, t2.right)
