Find K Closest Elements
Explore how to efficiently find k integers closest to a given target in a sorted array. Understand the use of modified binary search to compare distances and resolve ties by choosing the smaller value. This lesson helps you implement a solution that returns the closest elements sorted, preparing you for common coding interview challenges.

Statement
You are given a sorted array of integers, nums, and two integers, target and k. Your task is to return k number of integers that are close to the target value, target. The integers in the output array should be in a sorted order.
An integer, nums[i], is considered to be closer to target, as compared to nums[j] when |nums[i] - target| |nums[j] - target|. However, when |nums[i] - target| ...
