Invert a binary tree.
4 / \ 2 7 / \ / \ 1 3 6 9
to
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 fuck off.
Python Solution:
# Definition for a binary tree node. # class TreeNode(object): # def __init__(self, x): # self.val = x # self.left = None # self.right = None class Solution(object): def invertTree(self, root): """ :type root: TreeNode :rtype: TreeNode """ if root ==None: return root temp = root.left root.left = self.invertTree(root.right) root.right = self.invertTree(temp) return root
