#
# Given a binary tree, imagine yourself standing on the right side of it,
# return the values of the nodes you can see ordered from top to bottom.
#
# For example:
# Given the following binary tree,
#    1            <---
#  /   \
# 2     3         <---
#  \     \
#   5     4       <---
# You should return [1, 3, 4].
