Leetcode: Binary Tree Preorder Traversal
Given a binary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes' values. For example: Given binary tree {1,#,2,3}, 1 \ 2 / 3 return [1,2,3]. Note: Recursive solution is trivial, could you do it iteratively?
Analysis: 第一反应肯定是recursion(递归), 非常直接,但是题目要求不能用递归。如果要使用迭代的方法来写preorder traversal,最大的问题是要如何确定遍历节点的顺序,因为树的pre-order traversal其实很类似图的DFS,DFS可以用Stack来写,所以这里写pre-order traversal也可以用stack来实现迭代的写法。
Iterative: 其实就是用一个栈来模拟递归的过程。所以算法时间复杂度也是O(n),空间复杂度是栈的大小O(logn)。

recursion:
