[Leetcode]Closest Binary Search Tree Value II

Given a non-empty binary search tree and a target value, find k values in the BST that are closest to the target.

Note:
Given target value is a floating point.
You may assume k is always valid, that is: k ≤ total nodes.
You are guaranteed to have only one unique set of k values in the BST that are closest to the target.

Follow up:

Assume that the BST is balanced, could you solve it in less than O(n) runtime (where n = total nodes)?

Hint:
Consider implement these two helper functions:

getPredecessor(N)

, which returns the next smaller node to N.

getSuccessor(N)

, which returns the next larger node to N.

Try to assume that each node has a parent pointer, it makes the problem much easier.
Without parent pointer we just need to keep track of the path from the root to the current node using a stack.
You would need two stacks to track the path in finding predecessor and successor node separately
