105. Construct Binary Tree from Preorder and Inorder Traversal

Given preorder and inorder traversal of a tree, construct the binary tree.

Note:
You may assume that duplicates do not exist in the tree.

For example, given

preorder = [3,9,20,15,7]
inorder = [9,3,15,20,7]

Return the following binary tree:

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

Code:

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.left = None
#         self.right = None

class Solution:
    def buildTree(self, preorder, inorder):
        if inorder:
            ind = inorder.index(preorder.pop(0))
            root = TreeNode(inorder[ind])
            root.left = self.buildTree(preorder, inorder[0:ind])
            root.right = self.buildTree(preorder, inorder[ind+1:])
            return root
