239. Sliding Window Maximum

Hard

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]

Solution

import 'dart:collection';

class Solution {
  List<int> maxSlidingWindow(List<int> nums, int k) {
    int n = nums.length;
    List<int> res = List.filled(n - k + 1, 0);
    int x = 0;
    Queue<int> dq = Queue();
    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;

    while (j < nums.length) {
      // Remove elements from the deque that are smaller than the current element
      while (dq.isNotEmpty && dq.last < nums[j]) {
        dq.removeLast();
      }

      // Add the current element to the deque
      dq.addLast(nums[j]);

      // When the window size reaches k
      if (j - i + 1 == k) {
        // The element at the front of the deque is the largest in the current window
        res[x] = dq.first;
        x++;

        // If the element at the front of the deque is going out of the window, remove it
        if (dq.first == nums[i]) {
          dq.removeFirst();
        }

        // Slide the window to the right
        i++;
      }

      j++;
    }

    return res;
  }
