Solution: Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List

Explore how to convert a binary tree into a linked list following preorder traversal using an efficient depth-first search approach. Understand how to rearrange pointers in place without extra memory, ensuring linear time complexity and constant space usage.

Statement

Given the root of a binary tree, the task is to flatten the tree into a linked list using the same TreeNode class. The left child pointer of each node in the linked list should always be NULL, and the right child pointer should point to the next node in the linked list. The nodes in the linked list should be in the same order as that of the preorder traversal of the given binary tree.
