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);     }}
