【LeetCode】 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.

public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) {
return true;
}
return isSymmetricHelper(root.left, root.right);
}

private boolean isSymmetricHelper(TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
if (left == null && right == null) {
return true;
}
if (left == null || right == null) {
return false;
}
if (left.val == right.val) {
return isSymmetricHelper(left.left, right.right) && isSymmetricHelper(le

ft.right, right.left);
}
return false;
}
}
