Exercise 4.5
Pyramid BankAccounts


This exercise can be seen as a continuation of the bank account exercise in which we supplied a bank account with a backup account. The primary purpose of the exercises is to train recursive object-oriented programming.

We organize bank accounts in a tree structure (called a pyramid) in which each bank account may have two sons which are also bank accounts. The money in the account are somehow distributed on the accounts of the pyramid.

Program a version of class BankAccount with an owner, a balance, and possible references to two additional bank accounts: leftAccount and rightAccount. A skeleton of this class is provided together with a client program. You can assume that an account is either a leaf or the account has two sons.
