mediumArraysPattern: Sliding Window
Consecutive Resource Allocation Solution
Problem Statement
Given a sequence of daily resource quantities represented as an array of integers `resources` and the number of consecutive days `k` a spaceship needs to dock, determine the maximum total resource quantity that can be allocated within any `k`-day window.
Constraints
- 1 <= array length <= 1000
- 1 <= window size <= array length
Time: O(n) Space: O(1)
The optimized approach uses the sliding window technique to achieve a time complexity of O(n). It involves maintaining a running sum of the current window and updating it as the window moves through the array. This is done by subtracting the element that is no longer in the window and adding the new element that enters the window.
