### Example 1:
- Input: `points = [[1,3],[-2,2]], k = 1`
- Output: `[[-2,2]]`
- Explanation: The distance between `(1`, `3`) and the origin is sqrt(10). The distance between `(-2`, `2`) and the origin is sqrt(8). Since sqrt(8) < sqrt(10), `(-2`, `2`) is closer to the origin. We only want the closest `k = 1 points` from the origin, so the answer is just [[-2,2]].
### Example 2:
- Input: `points = [[3,3],[5,-1],[-2,4]], k = 2`
- Output: `[[3,3],[-2,4]]`
- Explanation: The answer [[-2,4],[3,3]] would also be accepted.
### Constraints:
- `1 <= k <= points.length <= 10^4`
- `-10^4 <= xi, yi <= 10^4`
## Approach
```mermaid
flowchart TD
S(["kClosest(points, k)"]) --> I["minHeap = []"]
I --> F{"more x, y in points?"}
F -- yes --> D["dist = x**2 + y**2 — squared distance orders the same as sqrt"]
D --> A["minHeap.append([dist, x, y])"]
A --> F
F -- no --> H["heapq.heapify(minHeap), res = [] — O(n) build, smallest dist on top"]
H --> W{"k > 0?"}
W -- yes --> P["dist, x, y = heapq.heappop(minHeap)"]
P --> R["res.append([x, y]), k -= 1"]
R --> W
W -- no --> E(["return res"])
```
## Solution
```py
import heapq
class Solution:
def kClosest(self, points: List[List[int]], k: int) -> List[List[int]]:
minHeap = []
for x, y in points:
dist = (x**2) + (y**2)
minHeap.append([dist, x, y])
heapq.heapify(minHeap)
res = []
while k > 0:
dist, x, y = heapq.heappop(minHeap)
res.append([x, y])
k -= 1
return res
```
