Symmetric Tree (Mirror Image of itself)
Last Updated :
22 May, 2024
Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself.
For example, this binary tree is symmetric:
1
/ \
2 2
/ \ / \
3 4 4 3
But the following is not:
1
/ \
2 2
\ \
3 3
The idea is to write a recursive function isMirror() that takes two trees as an argument and returns true if trees are the mirror and false if trees are not mirrored. The isMirror() function recursively checks two roots and subtrees under the root.
Below is the implementation of the above algorithm.
C++
// C++ program to check if a given Binary Tree is symmetric
// or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// A Binary Tree Node
struct Node {
int key;
struct Node *left, *right;
};
// Utility function to create new Node
Node* newNode(int key)
{
Node* temp = new Node;
temp->key = key;
temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
return (temp);
}
// Returns true if trees with roots as root1 and root2 are
// mirror
bool isMirror(struct Node* root1, struct Node* root2)
{
// If both trees are empty, then they are mirror images
if (root1 == NULL && root2 == NULL)
return true;
// For two trees to be mirror images, the following
// three conditions must be true
// 1.) Their root node's key must be same
// 2.) left subtree of left tree and right subtree of
// right tree have to be mirror images
// 3.) right subtree of left tree and left subtree of
// right tree have to be mirror images
if (root1 && root2 && root1->key == root2->key)
return isMirror(root1->left, root2->right)
&& isMirror(root1->right, root2->left);
// if none of above conditions is true then root1
// and root2 are not mirror images
return false;
}
// Returns true if a tree is symmetric i.e. mirror image of itself
bool isSymmetric(struct Node* root)
{
// Check if tree is mirror of itself
return isMirror(root, root);
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
// Let us construct the Tree shown in the above figure
Node* root = newNode(1);
root->left = newNode(2);
root->right = newNode(2);
root->left->left = newNode(3);
root->left->right = newNode(4);
root->right->left = newNode(4);
root->right->right = newNode(3);
if (isSymmetric(root))
cout << "Symmetric";
else
cout << "Not symmetric";
return 0;

Iterative Approach:
Algorithm for checking whether a binary tree is a mirror of itself using an iterative approach and a stack:
- Create a stack and push the root node onto it twice.
- While the stack is not empty, repeat the following steps:
a. Pop two nodes from the stack, say node1 and node2.
b. If both node1 and node2 are null, continue to the next iteration.
c. If one of the nodes is null and the other is not, return false as it is not a mirror.
d. If both nodes are not null, compare their values. If they are not equal, return false.
e. Push the left child of node1 and the right child of node2 onto the stack.
f. Push the right child of node1 and the left child of node2 onto the stack. - If the loop completes successfully without returning false, return true as it is a mirror.

Time Complexity: O(n) where n is the number of nodes.
Space Complexity: O(h) where h is the height of the tree.
Iterative approach using a queue:
The basic idea is to check if the left and right subtrees of the root node are mirror images of each other.
To do this, we perform a level-order traversal of the binary tree using a queue. We push the root node into the queue twice, initially.
We dequeue two nodes at a time from the front of the queue and check if they are mirror images of each other.
Follow the steps to solve the problem:
- If the root node is NULL, return true as an empty binary tree is considered symmetric.
- Create a queue and push the root node twice into the queue.
- While the queue is not empty, dequeue two nodes at a time, one for the left subtree and one for the right subtree.
- If both the left and right nodes are NULL, continue to the next iteration as the subtrees are considered mirror images of each other.
- If either the left or right node is NULL, or their data is not equal, return false as they are not mirror images of each other.
- Push the left and right nodes of the left subtree into the queue, followed by the right and left nodes of the right subtree into the queue.
- If the queue becomes empty and we have not returned false till now, return true as the binary tree is symmetric.

OutputThe binary tree is symmetric
Time Complexity: O(n),The time complexity of this approach is O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the binary tree.
This is because we visit each node of the binary tree once.
Space Complexity: O(n) , The space complexity of this approach is O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the binary tree.
This is because we store the nodes of the binary tree in a queue.
In the worst-case scenario, the queue can contain all the nodes of the binary tree at the last level, which is approximately n/2 nodes.
