Solution: Sum of Mutated Array Closest to Target
Explore how to solve the problem of mutating an array to achieve a sum nearest to a target value. Learn to sort the array and apply binary search concepts to determine the optimal replacement value that minimizes the sum difference. This lesson helps you understand balancing precision and efficiency in coding interview problems.

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:
