658. Find K Closest Elements

Problem:

Given a sorted array, two integers k and x, find the k closest elements to x in the array. The result should also be sorted in ascending order. If there is a tie, the smaller elements are always preferred.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5], k=4, x=3
Output: [1,2,3,4]

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5], k=4, x=-1
Output: [1,2,3,4]

Note:

1. The value k is positive and will always be smaller than the length of the sorted array.
2. Length of the given array is positive and will not exceed \(10^4\)
   Absolute value of elements in the array and x will not exceed \(10^4\)

Solution (C++):

struct Comp {
    bool operator()(int a, int b) {
        if (abs(a) != abs(b))  return abs(a) > abs(b);
        return a > b;
    }
};
vector<int> findClosestElements(vector<int>& arr, int k, int x) {
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.size(); ++i)  arr[i] -= x;
    priority_queue<int, vector<int>, Comp> que;
    vector<int> res;
    for (auto n : arr)  que.emplace(n);
    while (k-- && !que.empty()) {
        res.push_back(que.top() + x);
        que.pop();
    }
    sort(res.begin(), res.end());
    return res;
}
