Symmetric Tree

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.
