Write a function to reverse a String. I asked if I could use Java which the interviewer said was fine. After writing half the code he indicated that I actually should have written the algorithm for a character array. Ughh, I really screwed this one up but I feel like the question should have been administered better.

Given a tree of order n which is neither complete or a search tree, write a function to construct a new tree of order m in-place. Memory usage is bound to 2 times the size of the tree. The new tree must be complete, and a node A cannot be a child of another node B in the new tree if A was an ancestor of B in the old tree.
