Yes but is it Referring to the additive or multiplicative inverse?
Or maybe it’s making the tree upside down, so all leaves become roots, and the root becomes a leaf. But when we do that, do we just invert all the edges or transform the whole tree?
Maybe it’s referring to changing a red-black tree into a green-white tree? Or turning a splay tree into a merge tree?
It can mean a lot of things, so you ask questions.
Howell (the homebrew 'google didn't hire me because of inverting a binary tree' guy) confirmed that they meant swapping right and left children of all nodes.
The common meaning isn’t slang. The (multiple!) math/CS senses of the word are jargon. Which is fine—nothing wrong with jargon—but their existence doesn’t make the ordinary sense slang.
