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 depth of the two subtrees of everynode never differ by more than 1.

1:    bool isBalanced(TreeNode *root) {  
2:      // Start typing your C/C++ solution below  
3:      // DO NOT write int main() function  
4:      if(root == NULL) return true;  
5:      int val = GetBalance(root);  
6:      if(val ==-1) return false;
