Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target
Explore how to solve the problem of mutating an array so its sum is closest to a target by sorting the array and iterating with arithmetic adjustments. Learn to calculate a replacement value and choose it optimally. Understand the solution's O(n log n) time complexity and constant space usage using sorting and searching strategies.

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:
