How to mirror a binary tree?

Mirror Image of a Binary Tree

We take a binary tree and iterate from the root till the lowest sub tree. Each time we visit a node, we swap left and right child. This logic is recursive and execution goes to entire sub-trees level and completes the process. The resulting binary tree a mirror image of the original binary tree.

Source Code

 void mirror_tree (struct node* node) { 

   if (node==NULL) { 

     return; 

   } else { 

     struct node* temp; 

     /* recurse to do the subtrees */

     mirror_tree (node->left); 

     mirror_tree (node->right); 

     /* swap the pointers in this node */

     temp = node->left; 

     node->left = node->right; 

     node->right = temp; 

   } 

 }
