剑指offer：重建二叉树

题目：输入某二叉树的前序遍历和中序遍历的结果，请重建出该二叉树。假设输入的前序遍历和中序遍历的结果中都不含重复的数字。例如输入前序遍历序列为{1,2,4,7,3,5,6,8}和中序遍历的序列{4,7,2,1,5,3,8,6}，则重建出下图所示的二叉树并输出它的头结点。

分析：前序遍历的第一个元素就是根节点的值

BinaryTreeNode* Construct(int* preorder, int* inorder, int length)
{
    if(preorder == NULL || inorder == NULL || length <= 0)
        return NULL;

    return ConstructCore(preorder, preorder + length - 1,
        inorder, inorder + length - 1);
}

BinaryTreeNode* ConstructCore
(
    int* startPreorder, int* endPreorder, 
    int* startInorder, int* endInorder
)
{
    // 前序遍历序列的第一个数字是根结点的值
    int rootValue = startPreorder[0];
    BinaryTreeNode* root = new BinaryTreeNode();
    root->m_nValue = rootValue;
    root->m_pLeft = root->m_pRight = NULL;

    if(startPreorder == endPreorder)
    {
        if(startInorder == endInorder && *startPreorder == *startInorder)
            return root;
        else
            throw std::exception("Invalid input.");
    }

    // 在中序遍历中找到根结点的值
    int* rootInorder = startInorder;
    while(rootInorder <= endInorder && *rootInorder != rootValue)
        ++ rootInorder;

    if(rootInorder == endInorder && *rootInorder != rootValue)
        throw std::exception("Invalid input.");

    int leftLength = rootInorder - startInorder;
    int* leftPreorderEnd = startPreorder + leftLength;
    if(leftLength > 0)
    {
        // 构建左子树
        root->m_pLeft = ConstructCore(startPreorder + 1, leftPreorderEnd, 
            startInorder, rootInorder - 1);
    }
    if(leftLength < endPreorder - startPreorder)
    {
        // 构建右子树
        root->m_pRight = ConstructCore(leftPreorderEnd + 1, endPreorder,
            rootInorder + 1, endInorder);
    }

    return root;
}
