"""
Given an array of integer elements and an integer 'k', we are required to find the
maximum sum of 'k' consecutive elements in the array.

Instead of using a nested for loop, in a Brute force approach we will use a technique
called 'Window sliding technique' where the nested loops can be converted to a single
loop to reduce time complexity.
