Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target

Understand how to determine an integer value that replaces larger numbers in an array to bring the sum closest to a target. Explore sorting and binary search strategies to efficiently solve this problem and practice implementing your solution in a coding environment.

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.
