Hey!
Could you share a bit more context? Are you trying to maintain heap properties after an insert, or just drawing the tree manually for practice?
In general, for a min-heap, the parent node must always be smaller than both child nodes, but the order between left and right children doesn’t matter as long as that condition is met. So unless a heap property is violated, there’s no need to swap the children.
