2Sum in BST

Zenefits: 2Sum in BST

Input: A binary search tree, consisting of integers. And a number k
Output: True if there are two nodes a and b in the tree, such that a.val + b.val = k. 
Return false otherwise. 

A O(n) time, O(n) space solution:
The most straight-forward solution is first do a in-order traverse of the BST, store the results into an array. Then the problem can be transformed into a 2 sum problem. 
So the time and space complexity for this solution is O(n). 

A O(n) time, O(log n) space solution:
