Invert Binary Tree

Problem

Given the root of a binary tree, invert the tree, and return its root.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3,6,9]
Output: [4,7,2,9,6,3,1]

Example 2:

Input: root = [2,1,3]
Output: [2,3,1]

Example 3:

Input: root = []
Output: []

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 100].
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100

Solution

/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
* this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
* this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
* this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
* }
*/
/**
* @param {TreeNode} root
* @return {TreeNode}
*/
var invertTree = function(root) {
if (root) {
const left = invertTree(root.left);
const right = invertTree(root.right);
root.left = right;
root.right = left;
}
return root;
};

Recursively swap the left and right children of the tree root.
