144. Binary Tree Preorder Traversal

Easy

Given the root of a binary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes’ values.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,null,2,3]

Output: [1,2,3]

Example 2:

Input: root = []

Output: []

Example 3:

Input: root = [1]

Output: [1]

Example 4:

Input: root = [1,2]

Output: [1,2]

Example 5:

Input: root = [1,null,2]

Output: [1,2]

Constraints:

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