Construct BT from Preorder and Inorder

Difficulty: Medium

Given preorder and inorder traversal arrays, construct the binary tree and return its root.

Construct Binary Tree from Preorder and Inorder Traversal

Given two integer arrays preorder and inorder where preorder is the preorder traversal of a binary tree and inorder is the inorder traversal of the same tree, construct and return the binary tree.

Examples

Example 1:

Input: preorder = [3, 9, 20, 15, 7], inorder = [9, 3, 15, 20, 7]
Output: [3, 9, 20, null, null, 15, 7]

      3
     / \
    9  20
       / \
      15   7

Example 2:

Input: preorder = [-1], inorder = [-1]
Output: [-1]

Constraints

  • 1 <= preorder.length <= 3000
  • inorder.length == preorder.length
  • -3000 <= preorder[i], inorder[i] <= 3000
  • preorder and inorder consist of unique values.
  • Each value of inorder also appears in preorder.

Expected Complexity

  • Time: O(n)
  • Space: O(n)
