Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target

Explore how to solve the problem of finding a replacement value in an integer array so the sum is closest to a target. Learn to apply sorting and iterative evaluation to update the array and minimize the difference between the sum and target value.

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 ...
