Invert a binary tree.
Example:
Input:
4 / \ 2 7 / \ / \ 1 3 6 9
Output:
4 / \ 7 2 / \ / \ 9 6 3 1
Trivia:
This problem was inspired by this original tweet by Max Howell:
Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so f*** off.
Method 1.
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
TreeNode* invertTree(TreeNode* root) {
if (root == NULL)
return NULL;
TreeNode* curLeft = root->left;
root->left = invertTree(root->right);
root->right = invertTree(curLeft);
return root;
}
};
Method 2.
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
TreeNode* invertTree(TreeNode* root) {
if (root == NULL)
return NULL;
queue<TreeNode*> que({root});
while (!que.empty()) {
TreeNode* cur = que.front();
que.pop();
TreeNode* tmp = cur->left;
cur->left = cur->right;
cur->right = tmp;
if (cur->left)
que.push(cur->left);
if (cur->right)
que.push(cur->right);
}
return root;
}
