Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target
Understand how to solve the problem of finding a value that mutates an array so its sum approaches a target. Explore sorting the array, calculating replacement values, and applying search methods to minimize the difference. This lesson helps you implement an efficient solution with O(n log n) time complexity and constant space.

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...
