Construct Binary Tree from Traversals

Given preorder and inorder traversal of a tree, construct the binary tree.

Note: You may assume that duplicates do not exist in the tree.

For example, given

preorder = [3,9,20,15,7]
inorder = [9,3,15,20,7]

Return the following binary tree:

  3
 / \
9  20
  /  \
 15   7

Note

找到subproblem,通过size来定位root,index就是inOrder中和root值相等的位置

在help function需要

int preStart, int inStart, int inEnd

Left

Right

preStart

preStart + 1

preStart + (index - inStart) + 1

inStart

inStart

index - inStart + 1

inEnd

index - 1

inEnd

这样我们就划分了不同的左右子问题

Code

public TreeNode buildTree(int[] preorder, int[] inorder) {
    return helper(0, 0, inorder.length - 1, preorder, inorder);
}

private TreeNode helper(int preStart, int inStart, int inEnd,
                       int[] preorder, int[] inorder) {
    if (preStart > preorder.length - 1|| inStart > inEnd) return null;
    TreeNode root = new TreeNode(preorder[preStart]);
    int inIndex = 0;
    for (int i = inStart; i <= inEnd; i++) {
        if (inorder[i] == root.val) {
            inIndex = i;
        }
    }
    root.left  = helper(preStart + 1, inStart, inIndex - 1, preorder, inorder);
    root.right = helper(preStart + (inIndex - inStart) + 1, inIndex + 1, inEnd, preorder, inorder);
    return root;
}

Given inorder and postorder traversal of a tree, construct the binary tree.

Note: You may assume that duplicates do not exist in the tree.

For example, given

inorder = [9,3,15,20,7]
postorder = [9,15,7,20,3]

Return the following binary tree:

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

Note

类似之前的找法,不过这次我们需要从后面往前找 (inEnd should not larger than inStart)

Left

Right

postStart

postStart - (inStart - Index) - 1

postStart - 1

inStart

index - 1

inStart

inEnd

inEnd

index + 1

Code

public TreeNode buildTree(int[] inorder, int[] postorder) {
    return buildTree(inorder, inorder.length-1, 0, postorder, postorder.length-1);
}

private TreeNode buildTree(int[] inorder, int inStart, int inEnd, int[] postorder,
        int postStart) {
    if (postStart < 0 || inStart < inEnd)
        return null;

    //The last element in postorder is the root.
    TreeNode root = new TreeNode(postorder[postStart]);

    //find the index of the root from inorder. Iterating from the end.
    int rIndex = inStart;
    for (int i = inStart; i >= inEnd; i--) {
        if (inorder[i] == postorder[postStart]) {
            rIndex = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    //build right and left subtrees. Again, scanning from the end to find the sections.
    root.right = buildTree(inorder, inStart, rIndex + 1, postorder, postStart-1);
    root.left = buildTree(inorder, rIndex - 1, inEnd, postorder, postStart - (inStart - rIndex) -1);
    return root;
}

Return any binary tree that matches the given preorder and postorder traversals.

Values in the traversals preandpost are distinct positive integers.

Example 1:

Input: 
pre = [1,2,4,5,3,6,7], post = [4,5,2,6,7,3,1]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
  • It is guaranteed an answer exists. If there exists multiple answers, you can return any of them.

  • permutations of length, from 1 to pre.length

Note

利用permutation这个条件,存post的位置,找preOrder根后面的第一个元素的位置,分别对划分左右

int N = map.get(pre[preStart + 1]) - postStart; ---- N is the length of Left subtree

Left

Right

preStart

preStart + 1

preStart + 1 + N + 1

preEnd

preStart + 1 + N

preEnd

postStart

postStart

postStart + N + 1

postEnd

postStart + N

postEnd - 1

Code

class Solution {
    Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    int[] pre;
    int[] post;
    public TreeNode constructFromPrePost(int[] pre, int[] post) {
        this.pre = pre;
        this.post = post;
        int len = post.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            map.put(post[i], i);
        }

        return helper(0, len - 1, 0, len - 1);
    }

    private TreeNode helper(int preStart, int preEnd, int postStart, int postEnd) {
        if (preStart > preEnd || postStart > postEnd) {
            return null;
        }

        TreeNode root = new TreeNode(pre[preStart]);

        if (preStart < preEnd) {
            int N = map.get(pre[preStart + 1]) - postStart;
            root.left  = helper(preStart + 1, preStart + 1 + N, postStart, postStart + N);
            root.right = helper(preStart + 1 + N + 1, preEnd, postStart + N + 1, postEnd - 1);
        }

        return root;
    }
}
