173. Binary Search Tree Iterator - Unsolved

https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-search-tree-iterator/#/description

 

Implement an iterator over a binary search tree (BST). Your iterator will be initialized with the root node of a BST.

Calling next() will return the next smallest number in the BST.

Note: next() and hasNext() should run in average O(1) time and uses O(h) memory, where h is the height of the tree.

I use Stack to store directed left children from root.
When next() be called, I just pop one element and process its right child as new root. 
The code is pretty straightforward.

# Your BSTIterator will be called like this:

# while i.hasNext(): v.append(i.next())
