Statement
Given an integer array, nums, and an integer, k, there is a sliding window of size k, which is moving from the very left to the very right of the array. We can only see the k numbers in the window. Each time the sliding window moves right by one position.
Given this scenario, return the median of the each window. Answers within of the actual value will be accepted.
