226. Invert Binary Tree
Invert a binary tree.
Example:
Input:
4
/ \
2 7
/ \ / \
1 3 6 9
Output:
4
/ \
7 2
/ \ / \
9 6 3 1
Trivia: This problem was inspired by this original tweet by Max Howell:
Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so f*** off.
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode
# attr_accessor :val, :left, :right
# def initialize(val = 0, left = nil, right = nil)
# @val = val
# @left = left
# @right = right
# end
# end
# @param {TreeNode} root
# @return {TreeNode}
def invert_tree(root)
return if !root
root.right, root.left = root.left, root.right
invert_tree(root.left)
invert_tree(root.right)
root
end
