/**
 * Approach: Naive Solution: Create root node from first value present in
 * preorder traversal. Look for the index of root node's value in inorder
 * traversal. That will tell total nodes present in left subtree and right
 * subtree. Based on that index create left and right subtree. Complexity: Time:
 * O(n^2) for each node there is iteration to find index in inorder array Space:
 * Stack size = O(height) = O(lg(n))
 * <p>
 * Optimized Solution: Instead of iterating over inorder array to find index of
 * root value, create a hashmap and find out the index of root value.
 * Complexity: Time: O(n) hashmap reduced iteration to find index in inorder
 * array Space: O(n) space taken by hashmap
