What did you do?

I figured out something weird happening with the for loop, Please find my code below.
https://play.golang.org/p/gD8uCtJURYq

What did you expect to see?

The loop for root != nil || len(stack) > 0 { ...} should not exit if the value evaluates to true on the previous iteration.

What did you see instead?

The loop exits even if it evaluates to true.

The statement

    root := stack[len(stack)-1]

shadows the root variable used by the loop condition. You may want to use = rather than := there.
