Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List @LeetCode

PROBLEM :

Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.

For example,
Given

         1
        / \
       2   5
      / \   \
     3   4   6
   
The flattened tree should look like:
   1
    \
     2
      \
       3
        \
         4
          \
           5
            \
             6

SIMPLE c++ IMPLEMENTATION :

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };
 */

class Solution {
public:
    void flatten(TreeNode* root) {
        while(root){
            if(root->left){
                TreeNode *ptr=root->left ;
               
                while(ptr->right)
                    ptr=ptr->right ;
                   
                ptr->right=root->right ;
                root->right=root->left ;
                root->left=NULL ;
            }
            root=root->right ;
        }
    }
};
