Maximum height of the binary search tree created from the given array

Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to make two binary search trees. One while traversing from the left side of the array and another while traversing from the right and find which tree has a greater height.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {2, 1, 3, 4}
Output: 0
BST starting from first index           BST starting from last index 
    2                                             4
   / \                                           /
  1   3                                         3
       \                                       /
        4                                     1
                                               \
                                                2

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 6, 3, 5}
Output: 1

 

Prerequisites: Inserting a node in a Binary Search tree and Finding the height of a binary tree.
Approach: 
 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
struct node {
    int key;
    struct node *left, *right;
};
 
// A utility function to create a new BST node
struct node* newNode(int item)
{
    struct node* temp = (struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
    temp->key = item;
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
    return temp;
}
 
/* A utility function to insert a new node with given key in BST */
struct node* insert(struct node* node, int key)
{
    /* If the tree is empty, return a new node */
    if (node == NULL)
        return newNode(key);
 
    /* Otherwise, recur down the tree */
    if (key < node->key)
        node->left = insert(node->left, key);
    else if (key > node->key)
        node->right = insert(node->right, key);
 
    /* return the (unchanged) node pointer */
    return node;
}
 
/* Compute the "maxDepth" of a tree -- the number of
    nodes along the longest path from the root node
    down to the farthest leaf node.*/

        int rDepth = maxDepth(node->right);
 
        /* use the larger one */
        if (lDepth > rDepth)
            return (lDepth + 1);
        else
            return (rDepth + 1);
    }
}
 
// Function to return the maximum
// heights among the BSTs

{
    // Create a BST starting from
    // the first element
    struct node* rootA = NULL;
    rootA = insert(rootA, a[0]);

    // from the last element
