Given two arrays that represent Preorder traversals of a full binary tree and its mirror tree, we need to write a program to construct the binary tree using these two Preorder traversals.
A Full Binary Tree is a binary tree where every node has either 0 or 2 children.
Note: It is not possible to construct a general binary tree using these two traversals. But we can create a full binary tree using the above traversals without any ambiguity. For more details refer to this article.
Examples:
Input : preOrder[] = {1,2,4,5,3,6,7}
preOrderMirror[] = {1,3,7,6,2,5,4}
Output : 1

4 5 6 7-
Method 1: Let us consider the two given arrays as preOrder[] = {1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 7} and preOrderMirror[] = {1 ,3 ,7 ,6 ,2 ,5 ,4}.
In both preOrder[] and preOrderMirror[], the leftmost element is root of tree. Since the tree is full and array size is more than 1. The value next to 1 in preOrder[], must be left child of the root and value next to 1 in preOrderMirror[] must be right child of root. So we know 1 is root and 2 is left child and 3 is the right child. How to find the all nodes in left subtree? We know 2 is root of all nodes in left subtree and 3 is root of all nodes in right subtree. All nodes from and 2 in preOrderMirror[] must be in left subtree of root node 1 and all node after 3 and before 2 in preOrderMirror[] must be in right subtree of root node 1. Now we know 1 is root, elements {2, 5, 4} are in left subtree, and the elements {3, 7, 6} are in the right subtree.

Output

Time Complexity: O(n^2)
Auxiliary Space: O(n), The extra space is used due to the recursion call stack
- Method 2: If we observe carefully, then the reverse of the Preorder traversal of the mirror tree will be the Postorder traversal of the original tree. We can construct the tree from given Preorder and Postorder traversals in a similar manner as above. You can refer to this article on how to Construct a Full Binary Tree from given preorder and postorder traversals.
