K Closest Points to Origin

Try to solve the K Closest Points to Origin problem.

We'll cover the following

Statement

You are given an array of points where each element points[i] =[xi,yi]= [x_i, y_i] represents a point on the X-Y plane, along with an integer k. Your task is to find and return the k points that are closest to the origin [0,0][0, 0].

The distance between two points on the X-Y plane is measured using Euclidean distance, which is calculated as:
