Given a nested list of integers, implement an iterator to flatten it.
Each element is either an integer, or a list -- whose elements may also be integers or other lists.
Example 1:
Input: [[1,1],2,[1,1]]
Output: [1,1,2,1,1]
Explanation: By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false,
the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,1,2,1,1]
.
Example 2:
Input: [1,[4,[6]]]
Output: [1,4,6]
Explanation: By calling next repeatedly until hasNext returns false,
the order of elements returned by next should be: [1,4,6]
.
-------------------------------------------------------
Two potential challeges:
- Input para is a list instead of a NestedInteger
- getList() may return empty list
Right codes:

# This is the interface that allows for creating nested lists.
# You should not implement it, or speculate about its implementation

class NestedIterator:
def __init__(self, nestedList: [NestedInteger]):
self.sta = [] + nestedList[::-1]

top = self.sta.pop()
return top.getInteger()
def hasNext(self) -> bool:
while (self.sta and self.sta[-1].isInteger() == False):

# Your NestedIterator object will be instantiated and called as such:
# i, v = NestedIterator(nestedList), []
# while i.hasNext(): v.append(i.next())
