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.
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
