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}"
.
Java:
Recursive:
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* 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;
return isSymmetric(root.left,root.right);
}
public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode a,TreeNode b)
{
if(a==null&&b==null) return true;
if(a!=null&&b==null||a==null&&b!=null) return false;
if(a.val!=b.val) return false;
return isSymmetric(a.left,b.right)&&isSymmetric(a.right,b.left);
}
}
Iteration:
public class Solution {
public boolean isSymmetric(TreeNode root) {
if(root == null||root.left == null && root.right == null)
return true;
if(root.left == null || root.right == null)
return false;
LinkedList<TreeNode> p1 = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
LinkedList<TreeNode> p2 = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
p1.add(root.left);
p2.add(root.right);
while(!p1.isEmpty()&&!p2.isEmpty())
{
TreeNode t1=p1.poll();
TreeNode t2=p2.poll();
if(t1.val!=t2.val) return false;
if(t1.left!=null&&t2.right==null||t1.left==null&&t2.right!=null) return false;
if(t1.right!=null&&t2.left==null||t1.right==null&&t2.left!=null) return false;
if(t1.left!=null&&t2.right!=null)
{
p1.add(t1.left);
p2.add(t2.right);
}
if(t1.right!=null&&t2.left!=null)
{
p1.add(t1.right);
p2.add(t2.left);
}
}
return true;
}
}
