LeetCode in Kotlin

643. Maximum Average Subarray I

Easy

You are given an integer array nums consisting of n elements, and an integer k.

Find a contiguous subarray whose length is equal to k that has the maximum average value and return this value. Any answer with a calculation error less than 10-5 will be accepted.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,12,-5,-6,50,3], k = 4

Output: 12.75000

Explanation: Maximum average is (12 - 5 - 6 + 50) / 4 = 51 / 4 = 12.75

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5], k = 1

Output: 5.00000

Constraints:

Solution

class Solution {
    fun findMaxAverage(nums: IntArray, k: Int): Double {
        var windowSum = 0.0
        var windowStart = 0
        var max = Int.MIN_VALUE.toDouble()
        for (windowEnd in nums.indices) {
            windowSum += nums[windowEnd].toDouble()
            if (windowEnd >= k - 1) {
                val candidate = windowSum / k
                max = Math.max(candidate, max)
                windowSum -= nums[windowStart].toDouble()
                windowStart++
            }
        }
        return max
    }
}
