Given two integer arrays inorder and postorder where inorder is the inorder traversal of a binary tree and postorder is the postorder traversal of the same tree, construct and return the binary tree. For example: Example 1: inorder = [9,3,15,20,7], postorder = [9,15,7,20,3] Expected Output: [3,9,20,null,null,15,7] Example 2: inorder = [-1], postorder = [-1] Expected Output: [-1] 1 <= inorder.length <= 3000 postorder.length == inorder.length -3000 <= inorder[i], postorder[i] <= 3000 inorder and postorder consist of unique values. Each value of postorder also appears in inorder. inorder is guaranteed to be the inorder traversal of the tree. postorder is guaranteed to be the postorder traversal of the tree.

Let's explore the concept of FIFO (First-In, First-Out) depth in the context of data structures. What is FIFO depth, and why is it important to consider when designing and implementing a FIFO queue?** Explain how FIFO depth affects performance (latency and throughput), resource utilization (memory), and error conditions (overflow and underflow).** Can you provide a detailed example of a real-world scenario where FIFO depth is a critical parameter, like in a communication system or hardware design? For instance, if you are designing a system to process network packets, what factors would influence your choice of FIFO depth for the packet buffer? How does the arrival rate of packets, the processing time for each packet, and the acceptable packet loss rate play a role in determining the appropriate FIFO depth?** Also, discuss different strategies for managing FIFO depth dynamically based on system load and resource availability. How can adaptive FIFO depth control improve overall system performance and robustness?** What are some techniques to estimate the required FIFO depth analytically or through simulation?**
