Given Preorder, Inorder and Postorder traversals of some tree. The task is to check if they all are of the same tree.
Examples: 

Input : Inorder -> 4 2 5 1 3
        Preorder -> 1 2 4 5 3
        Postorder -> 4 5 2 3 1
Output : Yes
Explanation : All of the above three traversals are of 
the same tree.             1
                         /   \
                        2     3
                      /   \
                     4     5

Input : Inorder -> 4 2 5 1 3
        Preorder -> 1 5 4 2 3
        Postorder -> 4 1 2 3 5
Output : No
Recommended Practice

We already have discussed an approach to solve the above problem by constructing a tree using any two traversals in the previous article
In this article, an approach without using any extra space is discussed.
Approach

  1. Search for the first element of preorder array in the inorder array and store it’s index as idx, if it doesn’t exist then return False. Also, check if that element present in the postorder array or not. If it is not then return False.
  2. Everything from 0th index for inorder and postorder and from 1st index for preorder of length idx becomes left subtree for first element of the preorder array.
  3. Everything from position idx+1 for inorder and preorder and from idx for postorder of length (length-idx-1) becomes right subtree for first element of preorder array.
  4. Repeat the steps 1 to 3 recursively until length of arrays become either 0 (in which case we 
    return true) or 1 (in which case we return True only if all three arrays are equal, else False).

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to check if the given
// three traversals are of the same
// tree or not
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if traversals are
// of the same tree
int checktree(int preorder[], int inorder[],
              int postorder[], int len)
{
 
    // if the array lengths are 0,
    // then all of them are obviously equal
    if (len == 0)
        return 1;
 
    // if array lengths are 1,
    // then check if all of them are equal
    if (len == 1)
        return (preorder[0] == inorder[0])
               && (inorder[0] == postorder[0]);
 
    // search for first element of preorder
    // in inorder array
    int idx = -1, f = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i)
        if (inorder[i] == preorder[0]) {
            idx = i;
            break;
        }
   
    if(idx != -1){
      for(int i = 0; i < len; i++)
        if(preorder[0] == postorder[i]){f = 1; break;}
    }
 
    if (idx == -1 || f == 0)
        return 0;
 
    // check for the left subtree
    int ret1
        = checktree(preorder + 1, inorder, postorder, idx);
 
    // check for the right subtree
    int ret2
        = checktree(preorder + idx + 1, inorder + idx + 1,
                    postorder + idx, len - idx - 1);
 
    // return 1 only if both of them are
    // correct else 0
    return (ret1 && ret2);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Traversal Arrays
    int inorder[] = { 4, 2, 5, 1, 3 };
    int preorder[] = { 1, 2, 4, 5, 3 };
    int postorder[] = { 4, 5, 2, 3, 1 };
    int len1 = sizeof(inorder) / sizeof(inorder[0]);
    int len2 = sizeof(preorder) / sizeof(preorder[0]);
    int len3 = sizeof(postorder) / sizeof(postorder[0]);
 
    // Check if all the array lengths are equal
    if ((len1 == len2) && (len2 == len3)) {
 
        bool res
            = checktree(preorder, inorder, postorder, len1);
 
        (res) ? cout << "Yes" : cout << "No";
    }
    else
        cout << "No\n";
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

Time Complexity: O(N), where N is the number of elements in the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(N), as we are using a recursive stack for the checktree function.
