Solution: Find the K-Sum of an Array

Explore how to determine the kth largest subsequence sum in an integer array by transforming the problem into finding the smallest losses using heaps. Understand the approach of converting elements to absolute values, sorting, and using a min heap to optimize performance beyond brute force methods.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums, and a positive integer k. Your task is to determine and return the $k^{th}$ largest possible sum among all subsequences of the array. A subsequence is formed by deleting no or more elements from the array without changing the order of the remaining elements. The sum of a subsequence is the total of its elements.

Remember: For valid subsequences:
The empty subsequence is valid, and its sum is considered $0$ .
Duplicate subsequence sums are allowed and counted separately when determining the $k^{th}$ largest.

Constraints:

$n ==$ nums.length
$1 \leq$ n $\leq 10^3$
$-10^3 \leq$ nums[i] ...
