Binary Tree Construction from Preorder and Inorder Traversal

The goal is to construct a binary tree from given preorder and inorder traversal lists of the tree nodes.

Example:

Input:
preorder = [1, 2, 4, 7, 3]
inorder = [4, 2, 7, 1, 3]
Output:
Level Order Traversal: 1 2 3 4 7 
Explanation:

The binary tree constructed from the provided traversals will have the following structure:

Example Tree

Each level of the tree is presented in the output separated by spaces.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 1 <= N <= 3000
  • 1 <= data <= 104
  • Assume all node values are unique.
Note:
If a node is null, it should not appear in the output. The printed sequence corresponds to level order traversal of the constructed tree.
Follow-up:
Try to optimize your solution to work within O(N) time complexity.
