Did they give him an unordered BST and asked him to balance it?

the officer presented him with a piece of paper and a pen and told him to answer the following questions:

“Write a function to check if a Binary Search Tree is balanced.”

“What is an abstract class, and why do you need it?”

i call bullshite because you can't do this without being given a software language to write it in or was that part of the story left out?

it sounds like he claimed to be, say a java software engineer and if so, writing a function for a BASIC concept like balancing a binary tree or explaining what an abstract class is should have been among the first thing he learned.
