226. Invert Binary Tree

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

Example 1:

img

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

Example 2:

img

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.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode() {}
 *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = left;
 *         this.right = right;
 *     }
 * }

class Solution {

            return null;
        }

        TreeNode left = invertTree(root.left);
        TreeNode right = invertTree(root.right);

        TreeNode cur = root.left;
        root.left = root.right;

        root.right = cur;

        return root;
