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.
