/**
 * Problem Statement Ceil value for any number x in a collection is a number y
 * which is either equal to x or the least greater number than x.
 *
 * Problem: Given a binary search tree containing positive integer values. Find
 * ceil value for a given key in O(lg(n)) time. In case if it is not present
 * return -1.
 *
 * Ex.1. [30,20,40,10,25,35,50] represents level order traversal of a binary
 * search tree. Find ceil for 10. Answer: 20
 *
 * Ex.2. [30,20,40,10,25,35,50] represents level order traversal of a binary
 * search tree. Find ceil for 22 Answer: 25
 *
 * Ex.2. [30,20,40,10,25,35,50] represents level order traversal of a binary
 * search tree. Find ceil for 52 Answer: -1
 *
 * Solution 1: Brute Force Solution: Do an inorder traversal and save result
 * into an array. Iterate over the array to get an element equal to or greater
 * than current key. Time Complexity: O(n) Space Complexity: O(n) for auxillary
 * array to save inorder representation of tree.

 * Solution 2: Brute Force Solution: Do an inorder traversal and save result
 * into an array.Since array is sorted do a binary search over the array to get
 * an element equal to or greater than current key. Time Complexity: O(n) for
 * traversal of tree and O(lg(n)) for binary search in array. Total = O(n) Space
 * Complexity: O(n) for auxillary array to save inorder representation of tree.

 * Solution 3: Optimal We can do a DFS search on given tree in following
 * fashion. i) if root is null then return null because then ceil doesn't exist
 * ii) If key is lesser than root value than ceil will be in right subtree so
 * call recursively on right subtree iii) if key is greater than current root,
 * then either a) the root is ceil b) ceil is in left subtree: call for left
 * subtree. If left subtree returns a non-null value then that will be ceil
 * otherwise the root is ceil
