問題

Given preorder and inorder traversal of a tree, construct the binary tree.
** Notice
You may assume that duplicates do not exist in the tree.

ExampleGiven in-order [1,2,3]
and pre-order [2,1,3]
, return a tree:

分析

以這個二叉樹為例，前序是1245367，中序是4251637。我們知道前序的第一個一定是根結點。所以先把1找出來，然後在中序裡邊找到1，那麼1左邊的一定是1的左子樹，1右邊的一定是1的右子樹，然後遞迴即可。裡邊需要使用到前序，中序和後序的知識，大家自行查閱資料學習。
