Description,
Given an array consisting of n integers, find the contiguous subarray of given length k that has the maximum average value. And you need to output the maximum average value.
Example 1:
Input: [1,12,-5,-6,50,3], k = 4
Output: 12.75
Explanation: Maximum average is (12-5-6+50)/4 = 51/4 = 12.75
Note:
1 <= k <= n <= 30,000.
Elements of the given array will be in the range [-10,000, 10,000].
Moving window solution
Just be noticing that you don’t need to calculate the “average” until you return the result.
public class Solution {
public double findMaxAverage(int[] nums, int k) {
/**
* Moving window solution
* @timeComplexity: O(n)
* @spaceComplexity: O(1)
* @runtime: 22ms
*/
if (k > nums.length) return 0;
int windowSum = 0;
int maxSum = 0;
for (int i=0; i<k; i++) {
windowSum += nums[i];
}
maxSum = windowSum;
int i = 0;
for (int j = k; j < nums.length; j++) {
windowSum = windowSum - nums[i] + nums[j];
i++;
maxSum = Math.max(maxSum, windowSum);
}
return (double) maxSum/k;
}
}
