The binary tree could be constructed as below
Note : The order of processing the nodes is from the first to the last node in the given pre-order traversal to construct the root and the sub-trees.
Consider the below example in which a binary tree is constructed using the given In-Order and Pre-Order traversal.
Program to create a binary tree from a given pre-order and in-order tree traversal sequence.
