226. Invert Binary Tree

Difficulty Topics

Description

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

invert-binary-tree.py
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.left = left
#         self.right = right
class Solution:
    def invertTree(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> Optional[TreeNode]:

        def go(node):
            if not node: return None

            left, right = go(node.left), go(node.right)

            node.left, node.right = right, left

            return node

        return go(root)
