Construct a unique tree in its exact form given an inorder and preorder traversal. Only question I had trouble on, all the other questions I killed. Some of my linear time solutions I even had to spend time explaning WHY it ran in linear time, in other words the interviewer was not solid in his data structures. Got 4/5 questions, resulted in a shocking reject.
