### Problem
https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-tree-postorder-traversal/
#### Examples
**Example 1:**

![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/08/28/pre1.jpg)

**Input:** root = [1,null,2,3]
**Output:** [3,2,1]

**Example 2:**

**Input:** root = []
**Output:** []

**Example 3:**

**Input:** root = [1]
**Output:** [1]

#### Constraints

-   The number of the nodes in the tree is in the range `[0, 100]`.
-   `-100 <= Node.val <= 100`

### Thoughts

Same as [[Leetcode Binary-Tree-Inorder-Traversal]] and [[Leetcode Binary-Tree-Preorder-Traversal]]

== TODO: write iteration and another algo #TODO ==
### Solution

Recursion
```cpp
/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode() : val(0), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
 *     TreeNode(int x, TreeNode *left, TreeNode *right) : val(x), left(left),
 * right(right) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
  void postorder(TreeNode *root, vector<int> &answer) {
    if (root == nullptr) {
      return;
    }

    postorder(root->left, answer);
    postorder(root->right, answer);
    answer.push_back(root->val);
  }

public:
  vector<int> postorderTraversal(TreeNode *root) {
    vector<int> answer;
    postorder(root, answer);
    return answer;
  }
};

```
