Answer 1

Assuming a strict interpretation of your question and that you can’t use ANY of the methods provided by the String / StringBuilder classes (which I suppose is not the intention), you can use reflection to access the char array directly:

public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
    String s = "abc";
    Field stringValue = String.class.getDeclaredField("value");
    stringValue.setAccessible(true);
    char[] chars = (char[]) stringValue.get(s);

    //now reverse
}
