Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target

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.

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:

  • 11 \leqarr.length 103 \leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq ...
