Find K Closest Elements
Explore the technique of modified binary search to efficiently find k closest integers to a target in a sorted array. Learn how to handle ties by selecting smaller values and ensure the output is sorted. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints and implement a solution optimized for coding interviews.

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| ...
