Deepest left leaf node in a binary tree

Recursion

1. selfcontained recursion
2. global variables outside of recursion

---

Recursion Design 

1. Whenever reach to a qualified node, record the node reference and level for that node
2. if meet next qualified node, compare the level, if larger, refresh the global node reference and level.
3. Recursively do 1 and 2 recursively for left tree and right tree

Complexity

Time complexity is O(N)

Space complexity is O(N)
