Flatten List

Description

Given a list, each element in the list can be a list or integer. flatten it into a simply list with integers.

If the element in the given list is a list, it can contain list too.

Example

Example 1:
	Input:  [[1,1],2,[1,1]]
	Output: [1,1,2,1,1]
	
	Explanation:
	flatten it into a simply list with integers.

Example 2:
	Input:  [1,2,[1,2]]
	Output:[1,2,1,2]
	
	Explanation:  
	flatten it into a simply list with integers.

Example 3:
	Input: [4,[3,[2,[1]]]]
	Output:[4,3,2,1]
	
	Explanation: 
	flatten it into a simply list with integers.
思路：

递归处理，每碰到列表就递归处理，每碰到一个数字就添加进答案数组中。

复杂度O(n)
