K-th largest face questions node 54. The binary search tree
given a binary search tree, please find out the k-th largest nodes.
Example:
Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4, null, null, 1], k = 3 Output: 4
Input: root = [3,1,4, null, 2], k = 1 Output: 4

limit:
1 ≤ k ≤ number of the binary search tree element

Ideas II: recursive
class Solution {
private:
int ans = 0;
int n = 0;
public:
