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

Solution

import heapq

class Solution:
    def hIndex(self, citations: List[int]) -> int:
        neg_citations = [-c for c in citations]
        heapq.heapify(neg_citations)

        out = 0
        tmp = 1
        while tmp <= len(citations):
            v = heapq.heappop(neg_citations)
            if -v < tmp:
                break
            else:
                out = tmp
            tmp += 1
        return out
