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.

Examples

Example 1:

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

Output: 12.75

Explanation: The subarray [12,-5,-6,50] has the maximum average 51 / 4 = 12.75.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5], k = 1

Output: 5

Explanation: The only subarray of length 1 is [5] with average 5.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [0,4,0,3,2], k = 1

Output: 4

Explanation: When k = 1, the maximum average is the maximum element, which is 4.

Constraints

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= k <= n <= 10^5
  • -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
