Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target
Understand how to solve the sum of mutated array closest to target problem by sorting the array, iterating with remaining target updates, and calculating precise replacement values to minimize the sum difference. This lesson teaches you to apply sorting and search strategies efficiently.

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:
