Maximum Average Subarray I

URL: https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-average-subarray-i/description/

Description:

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:

n == nums.length
1 <= k <= n <= 10^5
-10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4

Solution Code:

class Solution:
    def findMaxAverage(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> float:

        currSum = maxSum = sum(nums[:k])

        for i in range(k, len(nums)):
            currSum += nums[i] - nums[i - k]

            maxSum = max(maxSum, currSum)

        return maxSum / k
