Symmetric Tree
Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (ie, symmetric around its center).
For example, this binary tree is symmetric:
1 / \ 2 2 / \ / \ 3 4 4 3
But the following is not:
1 / \ 2 2 \ \ 3 3
Note: Bonus points if you could solve it both recursively and iteratively.

# self.val = x

# self.right = None

def isMirror(self, l, r):
if l and r:
return l.val == r.val and self.isMirror(l.left, r.right) and self.isMirror(l.right, r.left)
else:
return l == r
