Kth Smallest in BST

**Problem Statement:** Given the required input arguments, write an efficient algorithm to solve the **Kth Smallest in BST** problem. Implement the required logic as specified by standard definitions for this classic algorithmic challenge. **Hint / Expected Approach:** In-order traversal (iterative) count to k **Edge Cases to Consider:** - (1) k = 1 (smallest) - (2) k = n (largest) - (3) BST with duplicates

Examples

Example 1
Input: [3,1,4,null,2], 1
Output: 1
Explanation: Smallest
Example 2
Input: [5,3,6,2,4,null,null,1], 3
Output: 3
Explanation: In-order: 1,2,3,4,5,6 → 3rd
Example 3
Input: [1], 1
Output: 1
Explanation: Single node

Constraints

  • ▪The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 2000]
  • ▪-1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
  • ▪Ensure depth-first or breadth-first traversals are memory-efficient

Watch Out For Edge Cases

  • ▪k = 1 (smallest)
  • ▪k = n (largest)
  • ▪BST with duplicates
