While solving a geometry problem, I came across an approach called Sliding Window Algorithm.
Couldn't really find any study material/details on it.
What is the algorithm about?
Generally speaking a sliding window is a sub-list that runs over an underlying collection. I.e., if you have an array like
[a b c d e f g h]
a sliding window of size 3 would run over it like
[a b c]
[b c d]
[c d e]
[d e f]
[e f g]
[f g h]
This is useful if you for instance want to compute a running average, or if you want to create a set of all adjacent pairs etc.
