Leetcode 101. Symmetric Tree Easy
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.
分析:
判断一棵树是否是镜像二叉树。首先,我对树的题目是心存畏惧的,因为这种题目往往涉及递归、循环,而且无法立刻给出思路。但是,现在想想,怕啥,因为关于树的题目套路比较多,通过见多识广,早晚有一天会“见怪不怪”。
首先,我们要明白什么是镜像二叉树——以中央作为对折点,左右两边可以重合,就像镜子一样。镜像二叉树有什么特点呢——根结点的左子树和右子树对称,即左子树的左节点对应着右子树的右节点,二者要相等,以此类推。
在写程序的时候就不难想出以下方法:
/** * 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: bool isSymmetric(TreeNode* root) { if (root == nullptr) return true; return isSymmetricCore(root->left, root->right); } bool isSymmetricCore(TreeNode* leftRoot, TreeNode* rightRoot) { if (leftRoot == nullptr && rightRoot == nullptr) return true; else if (leftRoot == nullptr || rightRoot == nullptr) return false; if (leftRoot->val == rightRoot->val) return isSymmetricCore(leftRoot->left, rightRoot->right) && isSymmetricCore(leftRoot->right, rightRoot->left); return false; } };
