# Time:  O(1)
# Space: O(h), h is height of binary tree
#
# 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.
