Given an array arr[] of n integers. The task is to find the maximum length of the sub-array which has the maximum average value (average of the elements of the sub-array). 

*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula:
 

*** Error message:
Error: Nothing to show, formula is empty

Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} 
Output:
{6} is the required sub-array
Input: arr[] = {6, 1, 6, 6, 0} 
Output:
{6} and {6, 6} are the sub-arrays with maximum average value. 
 


 


Approach: 
 

  • Average of any sub-array cannot exceed the maximum value of the array.
  • The possible maximum value of the average will be the maximum element from the array.
  • So to find the maximum length sub-array with the maximum average value, we have to find the max length of the sub-array where every element of the sub-array is same and equal to the maximum element from the array.


Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the max length of the
// sub-array that have the maximum average
// (average value of the elements)
int maxLenSubArr(int a[], int n)
{
    int count, j;
    int cm = 1, max = 0;
 
    // Finding the maximum value
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (a[i] > max)
            max = a[i];
    }
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n - 1;) {
        count = 1;
 
        // If consecutive maximum found
        if (a[i] == a[i + 1] && a[i] == max) {
 
            // Find the max length of consecutive max
            for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
                if (a[j] == max) {
                    count++;
                    i++;
                }
                else
                    break;
            }
 
            if (count > cm)
                cm = count;
        }
        else
            i++;
    }
 
    return cm;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 6, 1, 6, 6, 0 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    cout << maxLenSubArr(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

// Java implementation of the approach

    int cm = 1, max = 0;
 
    // Finding the maximum value
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        if (a[i] > max)
            max = a[i];
    }
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; )
    {
        count = 1;
 
        // If consecutive maximum found
        if (a[i] == a[i + 1] && a[i] == max)
        {
 
            // Find the max length of consecutive max
            for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
            {
                if (a[j] == max)
                {
                    count++;
                    i++;
                }
                else
                    break;
            }

        }
        else
            i++;
    }
 
    return cm;
}

{
    int arr[] = { 6, 1, 6, 6, 0 };
