What it shows

  • Eliminates recursive call overhead and avoids call stack exhaustion.
  • Guarantees O(h) auxiliary memory consumption where h is the tree height.
  • Crucial for pauseable iterators and streamable database cursor engines.

The takeaway

Simulating recursion with an explicit stack transforms fragile traversals into resilient pipelines.
