[Solved] You are given an array of integers nums, there is a sliding window of size k which is moving from the very left of the array to the very right. You can only see the k numbers in the window. Each time the sliding window moves right by one position.

Question

You are given an array of integers nums, there is a sliding window of size k which is moving from the very left of the array to the very right. You can only see the k numbers in the window. Each time the sliding window moves right by one position.

Return the max sliding window.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,-1,-3,5,3,6,7], k = 3
Output: [3,3,5,5,6,7]
Explanation: 
Window position                Max
---------------               -----
[1  3  -1] -3  5  3  6  7       3
 1 [3  -1  -3] 5  3  6  7       3
 1  3 [-1  -3  5] 3  6  7       5
 1  3  -1 [-3  5  3] 6  7       5
 1  3  -1  -3 [5  3  6] 7       6
 1  3  -1  -3  5 [3  6  7]      7

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1], k = 1
Output: [1]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • 1 <= k <= nums.length

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def maxSlidingWindow(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> List[int]:
        out = []
        out.append(max(nums[:k]))

        for i in range(len(nums)-k):
            new = nums[i+k]
            old = nums[i]

            if new>out[-1]:
                out.append(new)
            else:
                if out[-1]==old:
                    out.append(max(nums[i+1:k+i+1]))
                else:
                    out.append(out[-1])
        return(out)
