//  Tag: Stack, Tree, Depth-First Search, Binary Tree
//  Time: O(N)
//  Space: O(H)
//  Ref: -
//  Note: PostOrder

//  Given the root of a binary tree, return the postorder traversal of its nodes' values.
//   
//  Example 1:
//  
//  
//  Input: root = [1,null,2,3]
//  Output: [3,2,1]
//  
//  Example 2:
//  
//  Input: root = []
//  Output: []
//  
//  Example 3:
//  
//  Input: root = [1]
//  Output: [1]
//  
//   
//  Constraints:
//  
//  The number of the nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 100].
//  -100 <= Node.val <= 100
//  
//   
//  Follow up: Recursive solution is trivial, could you do it iteratively?
