* 并且左边子树的左子树和右边子树的右子树对称 且左边子树的右子树和右边子
* 树的左子树对称

* Iterative solution:
算法2：非递归解法，用两个队列分别保存左子树节点和右子树节点，每次从两个队列中
* 分别取出元素，如果两个元素的值相等，则继续把他们的左右节点加入左右队列。要注意
* 每次取出的两个元素，左队列元素的左孩子要和右队列元素的右孩子要同时不为空或者
* 同时为空，否则不可能对称，同理左队列元素的右孩子要和右队列元素的左孩子也一样。

* 2. The code can be improved by removing duplicated checking

* 1st node'right child vs 2nd node's right child

* The rewrite version is called isSymmetric_Iterative_ShortVersion
