[LeetCode&Python] Problem 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:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution:
    def invertTree(self, root):
        """
        :type root: TreeNode
        :rtype: TreeNode
        """
        if root is not None:
            temp=self.invertTree(root.left)
            root.left=self.invertTree(root.right)
            root.right=temp
        return root
