Given an array of integers citations where citations[i] is the number of citations a researcher received for their ith paper, return the researcher's h-index.
According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: The h-index is defined as the maximum value of h such that the given researcher has published at least h papers that have each been cited at least h times.
Example 1:
Input: citations = [3,0,6,1,5] Output: 3 Explanation: [3,0,6,1,5] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had received 3, 0, 6, 1, 5 citations respectively. Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining two with no more than 3 citations each, their h-index is 3.
Example 2:
Input: citations = [1,3,1] Output: 1
Constraints:
n == citations.length1 <= n <= 50000 <= citations[i] <= 1000
Hints
Hint 1
An easy approach is to sort the array first.
Hint 2
What are the possible values of h-index?
Hint 3
A faster approach is to use extra space.
