I might be wrong but it seems that this is an incorrect algorithm.

As far as I understand you are finding the maximum value from the sum of k consecutive integers in a list of integers which means:

>>> arr = [1, 4, 2, 10, 2, 13, 1, 0, 2]
>>> k = 4
>>> max_sum(arr, k)  # This should give me 27
16

Your algorithm provides 16 as the answer but the answer clearly is 27. Your algorithm is just giving the sum of the last k integers. If so, please test your algorithm thoroughly before submitting. Use black box and white box testing, random tests and especially test the edge cases.

There was a bug in the program. I corrected it and added more tests. Now the algorithm works just the way it should.
