	Interview hack: Memorize preorder/inorder/postorder tree ITERATORS (no recursion) and their reverses.
	It simplifies a disproportionate number of questions to simple for loops (see below).

	I consider the implementations below the simplest way to memorize the iterative tree traversal algorithms,
	because they are so similar to each other, and to their respective recursive versions.

	Notes:
	- We only visit a node after we have expanded its children (i.e. added them to the stack) in the desired order.
	- `x is curr` does the expanded flagging for us, because we always expand the current node.

	num = 40000

	I have read a bunch of posts about function pointers,

	but I rarely see this one weird trick.

	It is C's (admittedly clunky) syntax for typedefing a function pointer of a given signiature.
	Hide the clunkiness in the typedef to keep your code tidy and maintainable.

	The following is an interesting problem I found in the book Introduction to Computer Theory (2nd edition),
	by Daniel Cohen, Wiley, 1997. See what you think ...

	“ In the English language, we can observe that some adjectives apply to themselves. For example, the word
	“short” is a fairly short word. We mighy say, “short” is short. Also, the adjective “polysyllabic” is indeed
	polysyllabic. Some other possible adjectives of this type are “unfrequent”, “melodious”, “arcane”,
	“unhyphenated”, “English”, “non-palindromic”, and “harmless”. Let us call all these adjectives that describe
	themselves homothetic. Let us call all other adjectives (those that do not decribe themselves) heterothetic.
	For example, the words “gymnastic”, “myopic”, and “recursive” are all heterothetic adjectives The word
	“heterothetic” is an adjective, and therefore like all adjectives it is either homothetic or heterothetic.
