[Solved] Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes’ values. Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal. Each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples)

Question

Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes’ values.

Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal. Each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples)

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,null,2,3,4,5,null,null,6,7,null,8,null,9,10,null,null,11,null,12,null,13,null,null,14]
Output: [1,2,3,6,7,11,14,4,8,12,5,9,13,10]

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 104].
• 0 <= Node.val <= 104
• The height of the n-ary tree is less than or equal to 1000.

Follow up: Recursive solution is trivial, could you do it iteratively?

Python Solution

"""
# Definition for a Node.
class Node:
    def __init__(self, val=None, children=None):
        self.val = val
        self.children = children
"""

class Solution:
    def preorder(self, root: 'Node') -> List[int]:
        res = []
        stack = [root]
        
        while len(stack)!=0:
            x = stack.pop()
            if x:
                res.append(x.val)
                for c in reversed(x.children):
                    stack.append(c)
        return res
