text: Find maximum average subarray of k length | Returns beginning index of maximum average subarray of length k ; Check if ' k ' is valid ; Create and fill array to store cumulative sum . csum [ i ] stores sum of arr [ 0 ] to arr [ i ] ; Initialize max_sm as sum of first subarray ; Find sum of other subarrays and update max_sum if required . ; Return starting index ; Driver program
