Question 1

For what purpose we can use sliding window technique in the context of algorithms?

  • To calculate all possible subsets of a given set

  • To optimize the time complexity of finding the maximum or minimum sum in a subarray

  • To implement dynamic programming efficiently

  • To iterate over all elements in an array in constant time

Question 2

Which of the following is the time complexity of using the sliding window technique to find the maximum sum of any subarray of size k in an array of size n?

  • O(n^2)

  • O(n)

  • O(k * n)

  • O(k)

Question 3

In the sliding window problem of finding the smallest substring containing all given characters, which type of window is used?

  • Fixed size

  • Variable size

  • Infinite window

  • Binary search window

Question 4

In a sliding window of size k, how do we efficiently update the window sum when moving right by one position?

  • Recompute sum from scratch

  • Subtract outgoing element, add incoming element

  • Multiply by k

  • Sort window elements

Question 5
