I got an error like this:

mybst.cpp:262: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘*’ token

The main reason is in this function :

leaf*& tree::createBST(int开发者_Python百科 preOrder, int inOrder, int len)

This algorithm provided by how to rebuild BST using {pre,in,post}order traversals results

Why am I getting this error?

change this:

leaf*& tree::createBST(int *preOrder, int* inOrder, int len)

to this:

tree::leaf*& tree::createBST(int *preOrder, int* inOrder, int len)

good luck.

With @ybungalobill correction, you should do this too to avoid syntactical errors-

tree::leaf*& tree::createBST(int *preOrder, int* inOrder, int len)
{
    tree::leaf *bst = new tree::leaf;
    // ...

}
