Kth Smallest Element in a BST

Medium

Given the root of a binary search tree, and an integer k, return the kth (1-indexed) smallest element in the tree. Example 1: Input: root = [3,1,4,null,2], k = 1 Output: 1 Example 2: Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,null,1], k = 3 Output: 3 Constraints: The number of nodes in the tree is n. 1 <= k <= n <= 104 0 <= Node.val <= 104 Follow up: If the BST is modified often (i.e., we can do insert and delete operations) and you need to find the kth smallest frequently, how would you optimize?
