You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.
You want to maximize your profit by choosing a single day to buy one stock and choosing a different day in the future to sell that stock.
Return the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction. If you cannot achieve any profit, return 0.
Example 1:
Input: prices = [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output: 5
Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.
Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before you sell.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [7,6,4,3,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0.
Constraints:
1 <= prices.length <= 105
0 <= prices[i] <= 104
class Solution {
public:
int maxProfit(vector<int>& prices) {
int minp = prices[0];
int pro = 0;
for(int i = 1; i < prices.size(); i++){
pro = max(prices[i] - minp, pro);
minp = min(prices[i],minp);
}
return pro;
}
};
