leetcode 刷题之路 69 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.

二叉树转换，转换后的形式中节点顺序恰好是二叉树前序遍历后的顺序。

解法，对二叉树的左子树作转换操作，对二叉树的右子树作转换操作，然后将左子树转换结果拼接到根节点和右子树转换结果中间，执行过程如下图所示。

         1
        / \
       2   5
      / \   \
     3   4   6

     
        1
       / \
      2   5
       \    \
         3    6
           \
             4
