101. Symmetric Tree

Easy

Given the root of a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (i.e., symmetric around its center).

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,2,3,4,4,3]

Output: true

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,2,null,3,null,3]

Output: false

Constraints:

Follow up: Could you solve it both recursively and iteratively?
