In this video, we explore the problem "Max Sum Subarray of Size K" and break it down into three approaches to solve it effectively in Java. Each approach improves upon the last, culminating in an optimized solution. Here’s the breakdown:
Approach 1 – Basic Sliding Window (Brute Force): We manually slide the window and calculate the sum for each subarray of size K. While simple, it’s less efficient for larger arrays due to repeated calculations.
Approach 2 – Prefix Sum Array: We optimize the solution by pre-computing a prefix sum array, allowing us to calculate each subarray sum with fewer operations. This approach reduces time complexity but still uses extra space.
Approach 3 – Optimized Sliding Window: This is our most efficient approach, using a single sliding window without extra space, achieving optimal performance. Here, we keep a running sum and adjust it as the window slides, providing the maximum sum in a single pass through the array.
