How to perform an iterative inorder traversal through a binary search tree, in Java?

Comment

/*
	This performs iterative in-order traversal 
	through a binary search tree.
	In a binary search tree, for ever node v:
	- Elements in left subtree rooted at v 
	are less than element stored at v.
	- Elements in right subtree rooted at v
	are greater than or equal to one at v. 

	Let n be the number of nodes in the 
	binary search tree.
	Time complexity: O(n) 
	Space complexity: O(1)
