#643 Maximum Average Subarray I

APPROACH

You are given an integer array nums consisting of n elements, and an integer k.

Find a contiguous subarray whose length is equal to k that has the maximum average value and return this value. Any answer with a calculation error less than 10^-5 will be accepted.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,12,-5,-6,50,3], k = 4

Output: 12.75000

Explanation: Maximum average is (12 - 5 - 6 + 50) / 4 = 51 / 4 = 12.75

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5], k = 1

Output: 5.00000
