110. Balanced Binary Tree Difficulty - Easy

Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced.

For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as:

a binary tree in which the left and right subtrees of every node differ in height by no more than 1.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: true
		

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,2,3,3,null,null,4,4]
Output: false
		

Example 3:

Input: root = []
Output: true
