Reverse alternate levels of a perfect binary tree

PROBLEM :

Write a function to reverse alternate levels  of a perfect binary tree.

For example

Given tree:
               a
            /     \
           b       c
         /  \     /  \
        d    e    f    g
       / \  / \  / \  / \
       h  i j  k l  m  n  o

Modified tree:
              a
            /     \
           c       b
         /  \     /  \
        d    e    f    g
       / \  / \  / \  / \
      o  n m  l k  j  i  h


                                           1     should be Modified to       1
                                         /     \       - - - - - - - - - - - - >        /   \
                                        2     3                                         3     2

Inorder traversal  : 3 1 2


Input:
The task is to complete the method which takes one argument, root of the Tree. The struct node has a data part which stores the data, pointer to left child and pointer to right child.
There are multiple test cases. For each test case, this method will be called individually.


Output:
The function should modify the root of tree such that the alternate levels of the binary tree are reversed .The output generated for the expected output will be the inorder traversal of the modified tree.


Constraints:
1 <=T<= 30
1 <=Number of nodes<= 100
1 <=Data of a node<= 1000


Example:

Input:
2
2
1 2 R 1 3 L
6
1 2 L 1 3 R  2 42 L 2 51 R 3 63 L 3 72 R

Output:
2 1 3
42 3 51 1 63 2 72

There are two test casess.  First case represents a tree with 3 nodes and 2 edges where root is 1, left child of 1 is 3 and right child of 1 is 2.   Second test case represents a tree with 6 edges and 7 nodes.

void reverseAlternate(struct node *root)
{
    if(root==NULL)
        return ;
     
    int height ;
    height=find_height(root) ;
 
    int i,k,j ;
    int arr[100] ;
    for(i=0;i<height;i++)
    {
        if(i%2==0)
            continue ;
        else
        {
           k=0 ;
           tree_to_array(root,arr,&k,i) ;
           array_to_tree(root,arr,&k,i) ;
        }
    }
}

int find_height(struct node *root)
{
    if(root==NULL)
        return 0 ;
     
    int L,R ;
    L=find_height(root->left) ;
    R=find_height(root->right) ;
 
    return L>R ? L+1 : R+1 ;
}

void tree_to_array(struct node *root,int arr[],int *k,int level)
{
    if(root==NULL)
        return ;
     
    if(level==0)
        arr[(*k)++]=root->data ;
     
    tree_to_array(root->left,arr,&(*k),level-1) ;
    tree_to_array(root->right,arr,&(*k),level-1) ;
}

void array_to_tree(struct node *root,int arr[],int *k,int level)
{
    if(root==NULL)
        return ;
     
    if(level==0)
        root->data=arr[--(*k)] ;
     
    array_to_tree(root->left,arr,&(*k),level-1) ;
    array_to_tree(root->right,arr,&(*k),level-1) ;
}
