Problem (aka LeetCode 226)

Given the root of a binary tree, swap every node’s left and right children.

☕ Java Solution (Recursive)

🧠 Complexity

▪️Time: O(n) — each node is visited once.

▪️Space: O(h) call stack (worst-case O(n), best-case O(log n) for balanced trees).

☝️ Takeaway

Inversion is a perfect warm-up: shows you understand tree traversal and swapping, and lets you discuss recursion vs. iteration, depth/width trade-offs, and worst-case stack/queue use.
