+     * The space complexity of this method is {@code O(h)}, where {@code h} is the height of the binary tree.
+     * This is due to the recursion stack. In the worst case, the height of the tree can be {@code n} (in case of a completely skewed tree).
+     * Therefore, the space complexity can be considered {@code O(h)} in the worst case and {@code O(log h)} in the best case (for a balanced tree).
