Problem: Diet Plan Performance

easy
15 min
Explore how to apply the sliding window technique to assess calorie intake for k consecutive days and calculate performance points based on consumption thresholds. Understand the problem constraints and implement the solution in a coding environment.

Statement

A dieter consumes calories[i] calories on the i-th day.

Given an integer k, the dieter reviews their calorie intake over every sequence of k consecutive days (from calories[i] to calories[i+k-1] for all 0 <= i <= n-k). For each sequence, they calculate T, the total calories consumed over those k days:

  • If T is less than lower, the dieter performs poorly and loses 1 point.

  • If T is greater than upper, the dieter performs better and gains 1 point.

  • If T is between lower and upper (inclusive), the dieter’s performance is normal, and their points remain the same.

The dieter starts with zero points. Return the total points after the dieter follows this routine for all calories.length days. The total points can be negative.

Constraints

  • 1k1 \leq k \leq calories.length 105\leq 10^5

  • 00 \leq calories[i] 20000\leq 20000

  • 00 \leq lower upper\leq \text{upper}
