Given the root of a binary tree, return true if it is a mirror of itself (symmetric around its center), or false otherwise.

Input / output

  • Input: root: TreeNode (JSON test fixture is a LeetCode-style level-order array, e.g. [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3], with null for a missing child)
  • Output: boolean

Constraints

  • 0 <= number of nodes <= 1,000
  • -100 <= node value <= 100

Follow-up

Can you solve it both recursively and iteratively with a queue?

Examples
Example 1
Input: root = [1,2,2,3,4,4,3]
Output: true
Example 2
Input: root = [1,2,2,null,3,null,3]
Output: false
Example 3 (empty tree)
Input: root = []
Output: true
