H Index

p
"""
Task:
Given an array of integers citations where citations[i] is the number of
citations a researcher received for their ith paper, return compute the
researcher's h-index.

According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: A scientist has an
index h if h of their n papers have at least h citations each, and the other
n - h papers have no more than h citations each.

If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the
h-index.

H-Index link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index

Implementation notes:
Use sorting of array

Leetcode link: https://leetcode.com/problems/h-index/description/

n = len(citations)
Runtime Complexity: O(n * log(n))
Space  Complexity: O(1)
