Solution: Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List

Explore how to transform a binary tree into a linked list following preorder traversal by rearranging pointers in place using a depth-first search. Understand step-by-step how to connect nodes efficiently with O(n) time and O(1) space complexity.

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.

Constraints:

  • 100-100 \leq Node.data 100\leq 100.
