How to find the k closest elements to a giving value in sorted array with TypeScript

Answer 1

function findKClosestElements(arr: number[], k: number, value: number) {
    let left: number = 0;
    let right: number = arr.length - 1;
     
    while (right - left >= k) {
        if (Math.abs(arr[left] - value) > Math.abs(arr[right] - value)) {
            left++;
        }
        else {
            right--;
        }
    }
     
    while (left <= right) {
        console.log(arr[left]);
        left++;
    }
}
         
const arr: number[] = [6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, 25, 28];
const value: number = 16;
const k: number = 4;
 
findKClosestElements(arr, k, value);
