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.
