/**
 * 272. Closest Binary Search Tree Value II
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/closest-binary-search-tree-value-ii/
 * Difficulty: Hard
 *
 * Given the root of a binary search tree, a target value, and an integer k, return the k values
 * in the BST that are closest to the target. You may return the answer in any order.
 *
 * You are guaranteed to have only one unique set of k values in the BST that are closest to the
 * target.
