* defined as a binary tree where the differenced in height between the left and
* right subtree of each node differs by at most one.
*
* This can be done in both an iterative and recursive fashion. Below,
* `isBalancedRecursive()` is implemented in a recursive fashion, and
* `isBalancedIterative()` is implemented in an iterative fashion.
