click to show hints.
Hints:
If you notice carefully in the flattened tree, each node's right child points to the next node of a pre-order traversal.
### Java Solution
```java
public void flatten(TreeNode root) {
if(root == null) return;
flatten(root.right);
if(root.left != null){
TreeNode left = root.left;
flatten(left);
TreeNode last = left;
while(last.right != null)
last = last.right;
last.right = root.right;
root.right = left;
root.left = null;
}
return;
}
