/**
* 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
