Construct a tree from Inorder and Level order traversals | Set 1

Last Updated : 26 Jul, 2022

Given inorder and level-order traversals of a Binary Tree, construct the Binary Tree. Following is an example to illustrate the problem.

BinaryTree

Input: Two arrays that represent Inorder
       and level order traversals of a 
       Binary Tree
in[]    = {4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22};
level[] = {20, 8, 22, 4, 12, 10, 14};

Output: Construct the tree represented 
        by the two arrays.
        For the above two arrays, the 
        constructed tree is shown in 
        the diagram on right side

The following post can be considered as a prerequisite for this.
Construct Tree from given Inorder and Preorder traversals

Let us consider the above example.

in[] = {4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22};
level[] = {20, 8, 22, 4, 12, 10, 14};

In a Levelorder sequence, the first element is the root of the tree. So we know ’20’ is root for given sequences. By searching ’20’ in Inorder sequence, we can find out all elements on left side of ‘20’ are in left subtree and elements on right are in right subtree. So we know below structure now.

             20
           /    \
          /      \ 
 {4,8,10,12,14}  {22}

Let us call {4,8,10,12,14} as left subarray in Inorder traversal and {22} as right subarray in Inorder traversal.
In level order traversal, keys of left and right subtrees are not consecutive. So we extract all nodes from level order traversal which are in left subarray of Inorder traversal. To construct the left subtree of root, we recur for the extracted elements from level order traversal and left subarray of inorder traversal. In the above example, we recur for the following two arrays.

// Recur for following arrays to construct the left subtree
In[]    = {4, 8, 10, 12, 14}
level[] = {8, 4, 12, 10, 14}

Similarly, we recur for the following two arrays and construct the right subtree.

// Recur for following arrays to construct the right subtree
In[]    = {22}
level[] = {22}

Following is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

/* program to construct tree using inorder and levelorder
 * traversals */
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
/* A binary tree node */
struct Node {
    int key;
    struct Node *left, *right;
};
 
/* Function to find index of value in arr[start...end] */
int search(int arr[], int strt, int end, int value)
{
    for (int i = strt; i <= end; i++)
        if (arr[i] == value)
            return i;
    return -1;
}
 
// n is size of level[], m is size of in[] and m < n. This
// function extracts keys from level[] which are present in
// in[].  The order of extracted keys must be maintained
int* extrackKeys(int in[], int level[], int m, int n)
{
    int *newlevel = new int[m], j = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        if (search(in, 0, m - 1, level[i]) != -1)
            newlevel[j] = level[i], j++;
    return newlevel;
}
 
/* function that allocates a new node with the given key  */
Node* newNode(int key)
{
    Node* node = new Node;
    node->key = key;
    node->left = node->right = NULL;
    return (node);
}
 
/* Recursive function to construct binary tree of size n
   from Inorder traversal in[] and Level Order traversal
   level[]. inStrt and inEnd are start and end indexes of
   array in[] Initial values of inStrt and inEnd should be 0
   and n -1. The function doesn't do any error checking for

Node* buildTree(int in[], int level[], int inStrt,
                int inEnd, int n)
{
 
    // If start index is more than the end index
    if (inStrt > inEnd)
        return NULL;
 
    /* The first node in level order traversal is root */
    Node* root = newNode(level[0]);
 
    /* If this node has no children then return */
    if (inStrt == inEnd)
        return root;
 
    /* Else find the index of this node in Inorder traversal
     */
    int inIndex = search(in, inStrt, inEnd, root->key);
 
    // Extract left subtree keys from level order traversal
    int* llevel = extrackKeys(in, level, inIndex, n);
 
    // Extract right subtree keys from level order traversal
    int* rlevel
        = extrackKeys(in + inIndex + 1, level, n - 1, n);
 
    /* construct left and right subtrees */
    root->left = buildTree(in, llevel, inStrt, inIndex - 1,
                           inIndex - inStrt);
    root->right = buildTree(in, rlevel, inIndex + 1, inEnd,
                            inEnd - inIndex);
 
    // Free memory to avoid memory leak
    delete[] llevel;
    delete[] rlevel;
 
    return root;
}
 
/* utility function to print inorder traversal of binary
 * tree */
void printInorder(Node* node)
{
    if (node == NULL)
        return;
    printInorder(node->left);
    cout << node->key << " ";
    printInorder(node->right);
}
 
/* Driver program to test above functions */
int main()
{
    int in[] = { 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22 };
    int level[] = { 20, 8, 22, 4, 12, 10, 14 };
    int n = sizeof(in) / sizeof(in[0]);
    Node* root = buildTree(in, level, 0, n - 1, n);
 
    /* Let us test the built tree by printing Inorder
     * traversal */
    cout << "Inorder traversal of the constructed tree is "
            "\n";
    printInorder(root);
 
    return 0;
}

Output

Inorder traversal of the constructed tree is 
4 8 10 12 14 20 20

An upper bound on time complexity of above method is O(n³). In the main recursive function, extractNodes() is called which takes O(n²) time.

The code can be optimized in many ways and there may be better solutions.

Time Complexity: O(n^3)

Space Complexity: O(n) where n is the number of nodes.
