The sliding window is an algorithm typically used for strings or arrays. It allows analyzing a subset of data using a window of fixed or dynamic size. The efficiency of the algorithm comes from the fact that each element is examined only once. This is a significant advantage over the brute force approach, which requires a nested loop.
