Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List

Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.

For example,
Given

         1
        / \
       2   5
      / \   \
     3   4   6

The flattened tree should look like:

   1
    \
     2
      \
       3
        \
         4
          \
           5
            \
             6

Hints:

If you notice carefully in the flattened tree, each node's right child points to the next node of a pre-order traversal.

Have you been asked this question in an interview?

这道题目用stack 或者recursive 实现 preorder traversal
有一个小细节要注意，就是在对每个TreeNode 处理的时候，要记得把他们的左结点设为null

/**
 * Definition for binary tree
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public void flatten(TreeNode root) {
        if (root == null) {
            return;
        }
        Stack<TreeNode> st = new Stack<TreeNode>();
        st.push(root);
        TreeNode cur;
        TreeNode dummy = new TreeNode(0);
        TreeNode pre = dummy;
        while (!st.empty()) {
            cur = st.pop();
            if (cur.right != null) {
                st.push(cur.right);
            } if (cur.left != null) {
                st.push(cur.left);
            }
            cur.left = null;
            pre.right = cur;
            pre = pre.right;
        }
    }
}
