# Construct a special tree from given preorder traversal

Given an array ‘pre\[]’ that represents Preorder traversal of a spacial binary tree where every node has either 0 or 2 children. One more array ‘preLN\[]’ is given which has only two possible values ‘L’ and ‘N’. The value ‘L’ in ‘preLN\[]’ indicates that the corresponding node in Binary Tree is a leaf node and value ‘N’ indicates that the corresponding node is non-leaf node. Write a function to construct the tree from the given two arrays.

**Example:**

```
Input:  pre[] = {10, 30, 20, 5, 15},  preLN[] = {'N', 'N', 'L', 'L', 'L'}
Output: Root of following tree
          10
         /  \
        30   15
       /  \
      20   5
```

```java
class Solution {
    static int index;

    private static Node helper(int[] preData, String[] lnData) {
        if (index >= preData.length)
            return null;
        if (lnData[index].equals("L"))
            return new Node(preData[index++], null, null);
        Node root = new Node(preData[index++], null, null);
        root.left = helper(preData, lnData);
        root.right = helper(preData, lnData);
        return root;
    }

    private static Node construct(int[] preData, String[] lnData) {
        index = 0;
        return helper(preData, lnData);
    }
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mayanktyagi3111.gitbook.io/interview-prep/trees/construct-a-special-tree-from-given-preorder-traversal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
