230. Kth Smallest Element in a BST

TODO: 树的非递归遍历还需要多加推敲,加强理解。

Given a binary search tree, write a function kthSmallest to find the *k*th smallest element in it.

*Note: *

You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ BST’s total elements.

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,1,4,null,2], k = 1
   3
  / \
 1   4
  \
   2
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,null,1], k = 3
       5
      / \
     3   6
    / \
   2   4
  /
 1
Output: 3

Follow up:

What if the BST is modified (insert/delete operations) often and you need to find the kth smallest frequently? How would you optimize the kthSmallest routine?
