589. N-ary Tree Preorder Traversal

Easy

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]

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