interchangeWithLeader?

[Chuck Lucier]

what leader are we swapping with the node at the specified index being
passed as a parameter? Is the leader going to be a leaf and is the index
given also a leaf? Are we switching nodes that have the same weight? What's
the point to having this method? Is it supposed to be where a node gets
incremented greater than it's siblings it has to find the last node that's
less than it and swap them? My partner and I are kind of lost if some one
could be so kind and clear this up for us please!

interchangeWithLeader switches the current node with the highest index node
of the same weight (and its children).

My question is this: When we swap the nodes, do we still have to swap their
children, or is that takes care of itself in the swap? If not, any idea on
how to get started swapping the children as well?

Thanks!
