Solution: Diet Plan Performance

Understand how to apply the sliding window technique to evaluate a dieter's performance based on calorie intake over k consecutive days. Learn to maintain a running sum and update points efficiently as the window slides, improving problem-solving skills in subarray problems.

We'll cover the following...

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 ...
