This is a plate, requirement for our semifinals.

Enhance the addInterest method of the SavingsAccount class to compute the interest on the minimum
balance since the last call to addInterest.
Hint: You need to modify the withdraw method as well, and you need to add an instance field to
remember the minimum balance.

I dunno how to modify the SavingsAccount -__-

well ... put your amount (or so) as an instance variable, and add setters and getters to obtain or change the value.
