Construct Binary Search Tree from Preorder Traversal

Given an array of integers preorder, which represents the preorder traversal of a BST (i.e., binary search tree), construct the tree and return its root. It is guaranteed that there is always possible to find a binary search tree with the given requirements for the given test cases. A binary search tree is a binary tree where for every node, any descendant of Node.left has a value strictly less than Node.val, and any descendant of Node.right has a value strictly greater than Node.val. A preorder traversal of a binary tree displays the value of the node first, then traverses Node.left, then traverses Node.right.
