Invert Binary Tree - LeetCode

Given a binary tree, you have to invert left and right nodes of it

Example:

Input

 4 

/ \
2 7
/ \ / \
1 3 6 9

Output

 4 

/ \
7 2
/ \ / \
9 6 3 1

Algorithm:

The intuition here is for each root node you visit swap left and right

The code would be something like

temp = root.left root.left = root.right root.right = temp 

And we have to do this recursively for all the nodes

Code

/** * 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 there is a root we swap it and if there is no root just return the value if(root) { let temp = root.left root.left = root.right root.right = temp invertTree(root.left) invertTree(root.right) } return root };
