### Problem Invert a binary tree by exchanging left and right children throughout the tree, and return its root. Keep the supplied TreeNode interface with val, left and right fields. ```cpp TreeNode* invertTree(TreeNode* root); ``` Example brackets display tree structure in level order; the argument and return are node pointers. ### Examples ```text Input: root = [6,2,10,1,4,8,12] Output tree: [6,10,2,12,8,4,1] ``` ```text Input: root = [5,null,9,7] Output tree: [5,9,null,null,7] ``` ### Constraints - There are between 0 and 100 nodes. - Values lie between -100 and 100.

Problem

Invert a binary tree by exchanging left and right children throughout the tree, and return its root. Keep the supplied TreeNode interface with val, left and right fields.

TreeNode* invertTree(TreeNode* root);

Example brackets display tree structure in level order; the argument and return are node pointers.

Examples

Input: root = [6,2,10,1,4,8,12]
Output tree: [6,10,2,12,8,4,1]
Input: root = [5,null,9,7]
Output tree: [5,9,null,null,7]

Constraints

  • There are between 0 and 100 nodes.
  • Values lie between -100 and 100.
