Leetcode 101. Symmetric Tree(easy)

Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (ie, symmetric around its center).

For example, this binary tree [1,2,2,3,4,4,3] is symmetric:

    1
   / \
  2   2
 / \ / \
3  4 4  3

 

But the following [1,2,2,null,3,null,3] is not:

    1
   / \
  2   2
   \   \
   3    3

 

Note:
Bonus points if you could solve it both recursively and iteratively.

 

/*
递归实现： 要考虑到左右两个子树去递归，所以重写函数
