Check if two trees are Mirror

Given two Binary Trees, write a function that returns true if two trees are mirror of each other, else false. For example, the function should return true for following input trees.

This problem is different from the problem discussed here.
For two trees ‘a’ and ‘b’ to be mirror images, the following three conditions must be true: 

1. Their root node’s key must be same
2. Left subtree of root of ‘a’ and right subtree root of ‘b’ are mirror.
3. Right subtree of ‘a’ and left subtree of ‘b’ are mirror.

Below is implementation of above idea. 

C++

// C++ program to check if two trees are mirror
// of each other
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

/* A binary tree node has data, pointer to
   left child and a pointer to right child */
struct Node
{
    int data;
    Node* left, *right;
};

/* Given two trees, return true if they are
   mirror of each other */
/*As function has to return bool value instead integer value*/
bool areMirror(Node* a, Node* b)
{
    /* Base case : Both empty */
    if (a==NULL && b==NULL)
        return true;

    // If only one is empty
    if (a==NULL || b == NULL)
        return false;

    /* Both non-empty, compare them recursively
     Note that in recursive calls, we pass left
     of one tree and right of other tree */
    return  a->data == b->data &&
            areMirror(a->left, b->right) &&
            areMirror(a->right, b->left);
}

/* Helper function that allocates a new node */
Node* newNode(int data)
{
    Node* node = new Node;
    node->data  = data;
    node->left  =  node->right  = NULL;
    return(node);
}

/* Driver program to test areMirror() */
int main()
{
    Node *a = newNode(1);
    Node *b = newNode(1);
    a->left = newNode(2);
    a->right = newNode(3);
    a->left->left  = newNode(4);
    a->left->right = newNode(5);

    b->left = newNode(3);
    b->right = newNode(2);
    b->right->left = newNode(5);
    b->right->right = newNode(4);

    areMirror(a, b)? cout << "Yes" : cout << "No";

    return 0;
}
