Thanks for getting this in Aida, just 1 method not completed. Take a look at my feedback and let me know what questions you have.

👍 However the time complexity is O(n log n) because you are adding n elements to the heap and each addition takes O(log n) time.

👍 However the space complexity is O(log n) due to heap_up

The trick is:
- Determine if there are left and right children using the formula.
- Find the minimum child
- if the current node is less than the minimum child swap them and call
heap_down
on the new current node
