[Challenge] Invert Binary Tree #325

Description

@drkennetz

Invert Binary Tree

The classic algorithm problem that you see on all the coding interview prep advertisement sites! The challenge is simple: Write a function that takes in a Binary Tree and Inverts It. In other words, the function should swap every left node in the tree for its corresponding right node.

Each BinaryTree node has an integer value, a left child node, and a right child node. Children nodes can either be BinaryTree nodes themselves or None / null / nil.

Business Rules/Errata

  • The operation should modify the input tree - other objects should not be created to complete this challenge.

Examples

Sample Input

tree =        1
           /     \
         2        3
       /   \    /   \
      4     5  6     7
    /   \
   8     9

Sample Output

tree =        1
           /     \
          3       2
        /   \   /   \
       7     6 5     4
                   /   \
                  9     8
