The problem

Does a binary tree look the same in a mirror? Return whether its left half is the mirror image of its right half.

Input format

The tree in the usual heap-array format.

Example

Input:
7
4 9 9 1 5 5 1
Output: true

Constraints

  • 1 <= number of nodes <= 1000
  • -100 <= node value <= 100

How it's graded

  • Run checks your code against the examples. Submit also runs a hidden suite in four groups - basic cases, edge cases, random inputs and performance tests at the size limit - and shows which groups pass, never the hidden inputs.
  • Stuck? Hints come in four steps, from a nudge to a code skeleton, each costing part of the points.
  • Once you pass, you see the approaches from brute force to optimal, and where your solution lands among them.
