# 226. Invert Binary Tree ###### tags: `leetcode` ## Description Given the root of a binary tree, invert the tree, and return its root. - Example 1: ![](https://i.imgur.com/3XCNHC7.png) >Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3,6,9] Output: [4,7,2,9,6,3,1] - Example 2: ![](https://i.imgur.com/M0oC6Vj.png) >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 $[0,\ 100]$. $-100 \leq \text{Node.val} \leq 100$ ## Solution - By iterating through the tree, the question can be done by divide and conquer. - The checking procedure should be done by making sure every node is not null and the nullptr is given if the corresponding neighbot node is not empty. ```cpp= TreeNode* temp; if (root->left != nullptr) temp = invertTree(root->left); else temp = nullptr; if (root->right != nullptr) root->left = invertTree(root->right); else root->left = nullptr; root->right = temp; ```
