Pre Order Traversal

/**
 * Given tree is traversed in a 'pre-order' way: ROOT -> LEFT -> RIGHT.
 * Below are given the recursive and iterative implementations.
 *
 * Complexities:
 * Recursive: O(n) - time, O(n) - space, where 'n' is the number of nodes in a tree.
 *
 * Iterative: O(n) - time, O(h) - space, where 'n' is the number of nodes in a tree
 * and 'h' is the height of a binary tree.
 * In the worst case 'h' can be O(n) if tree is completely unbalanced, for instance:
 * 5
 *  \
 *   6
 *    \
 *     7
 *      \
 *       8
