Leetcode 366. Find Leaves of Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, collect a tree‘s nodes as if you were doing this: Collect and remove all leaves, repeat until the tree is empty.

Example:

Given binary tree

          1
         /         2   3
       / \
      4   5

Returns [4, 5, 3], [2], [1].

Explanation:

1. Removing the leaves [4, 5, 3] would result in this tree:

          1
         /
        2

2. Now removing the leaf [2] would result in this tree:

          1

3. Now removing the leaf [1] would result in the empty tree:

          []

Returns [4, 5, 3], [2], [1].

解法一： 一层一层的将所有的叶子拔掉，每次去掉一个叶子，就把这个叶子的val设置成‘#‘。
