[LeetCode] Maximum Average Subarray I

Posted 2020-09-28 immjc

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. 1 <= k <= n <= 30,000.
2. Elements of the given array will be in the range [-10,000, 10,000].

给定一个由n个整数组成的数组，计算数组中相邻连续k个元素的最大平均值。按照题意使用了两层for循环计算结果，但是提交时显示超时。

class Solution {
public:
    double findMaxAverage(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
        double res = -INT_MAX;
        for (int i = 0; i != nums.size() - k + 1; i++) {
            double sum = 0;
            for (int j = i; j != i + k; j++) 
                sum += nums[j];
            res = max(res, sum);
        }
        
        return res / k;
    }
};

分析原因得到2层for循环导致超时，经过思考采用一个for循环来进行计算，每次计算到k的整数和时判断该和是否为最大值，接着把最k个数中第一个减去，再在后面添加一个整数。类似于滑动一个长度为k的窗口，代码如下

class Solution {
public:
    double findMaxAverage(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
        double res = INT_MIN;
        double sum = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i != nums.size(); i++) {
            sum += nums[i];
            if (i >= k)
                sum -= nums[i - k];
            if (i >= k - 1)
                res = max(res, sum);
        }
        return res / k;
    }
};
