Let us consider left move as "0" and right move as "1" . As "n" is our target node then path from root to "n" will be binary representation of "n-1" represented in length "h".
let binary representation of "n-1" be string "destination".
Algorithm:
- While traversing from top to bottom if current command is equal to direction where we
want to procced then it is fine else we will have to visit all the nodes of other subtree.
There are pow(2,h) nodes in a subtree of height h.
will only come out of this subtree if we visit all the nodes of this subtree.

int nextCommand(0),ans(0),currentHeight(h-1);
	for(int i(0) ;i<destination.length();i++){
		if(destination[i] != nextCommand){
			ans += pow(2,currentHeight);
		}
		ans++;
		nextCommand = 1 - nextCommand;
		currentHeight--;
	}
