Write a method replacekey in the minheap class with the following signature: public void replacekey(integer oldkey, integer newkey) the method will replace the first occurrence of oldkey with the newkey, and restore the min-heap property after the change. if the oldkey does not exist in the heap, the method prints an appropriate message and returns without changing the heap. example: suppose our binary heap object (bh) has the following keys: *** 4 6 7 32 19 64 26 99 42 54 28 then the method call: bh. replacekey (oldkey integer(54), newkey integer(2))

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).
