Solution: Diet Plan Performance

Understand how to apply the sliding window pattern to calculate total calories over k consecutive days and assess diet performance points by updating sums efficiently. This lesson teaches you to implement this approach for optimal time and space complexity.

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 ...
