Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target
Let's solve the Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target problem using the Sort and Search pattern.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given an integer array arr
and a target value target
, find an integer value
such that if all the numbers in arr
greater than value
are replaced with a value
, the sum of the array gets as close as possible to the target
.
Choose the smaller value
if there’s a tie (two value
options are equally close to the targe
).
Note: The answer doesn’t have to be a number from the array.
Constraints:
arr.length
