+/********************************************************************************** 
+*We run a preorder depth first search on the root of a binary tree.
+*At each node in this traversal, we output D dashes (where D is the depth of this node), 
+*then we output the value of this node.  
+*(If the depth of a node is D, the depth of its immediate child is D+1.The depth of the root node is 0.)
+*If a node has only one child, that child is guaranteed to be the left child.
+*Given the output S of this traversal, recover the tree and return its root.
+
+* Input: "1-2--3--4-5--6--7"
+* Output: [1,2,5,3,4,6,7]
+
+* Proposed Solution
+  -----------------
+ 1. for each node in the input save its depth and value
+ 2. start a stack with the root node pushed onto it
+    
+    IF the following node has the root's depth + 1 and the root has less than 2 children then this node
+    is a child for this root. Add it to the stack.
+    
+    ELSE then pop the current node from the stack.
