/**
* 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.
* <p>
* <p>
* 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.
* <p>
* <p>
* 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
