This approach involves iterating over each element in the array and calculating the subarray sum for each index considering the radius. If there is an insufficient number of elements, return -1 for that index. The average is computed using integer division.
Time Complexity: O(n*k), where n is the size of the array.
Space Complexity: O(n), for the output array.

37}This C code implements the brute force approach where for each index, we calculate the sum of its k-radius subarray. If the index doesn't have enough elements on either side, it sets the result for that position to -1.
The sliding window approach helps optimize the brute force method by avoiding redundant calculations when sums overlap, significantly reducing the time complexity.
Time Complexity: O(n), as each element is added and removed from the sum at most once.
Space Complexity: O(n), for storing the results.

This solution implements a sliding window to accumulate the sum over a moving range, improving efficiency compared to calculating the sum from scratch for each subarray.
