Describe your change:

With only one traversal given,we cannot build a tree.We need atleast two of the traversals to get a full tree(i.e. given two traversals a unique binary-tree can be constructed).Here, two types(inorder+preorder;inorder+postorder) was done.
We used recursion technique to build it.

  • All new Python files are placed inside an existing directory.
  • All filenames are in all lowercase characters with no spaces or dashes.
  • All functions and variable names follow Python naming conventions.
  • All function parameters and return values are annotated with Python type hints.
  • All functions have doctests that pass the automated testing.
  • All new algorithms include at least one URL that points to Wikipedia or another similar explanation.
  • If this pull request resolves one or more open issues then the description above includes the issue number(s) with a closing keyword: "Fixes #ISSUE-NUMBER".
