class Solution {
    public TreeNode invertTree(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) return root;
        TreeNode temp = root.right;
        root.right = root.left;
        root.left = temp;
        invertTree(root.left);
        invertTree(root.right);
        return root;
    }
}

For this problem, we swap the left and right nodes for every nodes. Once we have traversed through every performing the swap, the tree will be inverted.

This would have a complexity of O(n) time

O(1) space
