Anonymous Wolf - "Construct a min-heap either inplace, or by making a copy of the array and then applying heapify on that copy. This is done in O(n) time. Maintain two zero-initialised variables - sum and count. Keep popping off the heap while sum < k, and update count. In the worst case you will have to do n pops, and each pop is O(log n), so the algorithm would take O(n log n) in total. Space complexity depends on whether you're allowed to modify inplace or not, so either O(1) or O(n) respectively."See full answer
