Say you have an array for which the ith element is the price of a given stock on day i.
If you were only permitted to complete at most one transaction (i.e., buy one and sell one share of the stock), design an algorithm to find the maximum profit.
Note that you cannot sell a stock before you buy one.
Example 1:
Input: [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. Not 7-1 = 6, as selling price needs to be larger than buying price.
Example 2:
Input: [7,6,4,3,1] Output: 0 Explanation: In this case, no transaction is done, i.e. max profit = 0.
解题思路:
用动态规划。本题同剑指offer:连续子序列最大和的思想是一模一样的。https://blog.youkuaiyun.com/orangefly0214/article/details/85628042
实现:
class Solution {
public int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
if(prices==null||prices.length==0||prices.length==1){
return 0;
}
int[] diff=new int[prices.length-1];
for(int i=1;i<prices.length;i++){
diff[i-1]=prices[i]-prices[i-1];
}
int max=diff[0];
int currSum=diff[0];
for(int i=1;i<diff.length;i++){
currSum=Math.max(currSum+diff[i],diff[i]);
max=Math.max(currSum,max);
}
return max>0?max:0;
}
}
