题目
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 (ie, buy one and sell one share of the stock), design an algorithm to find the maximum profit.
思路一:报超时
只能买一次,卖一次,求最大利润 ;
最简单的思路:找出差值最大的两个值 ;不过时间复杂度为O(n^2)
实现代码如下:
int maxProfit(int* prices, int pricesSize) {
if(prices==NULL||pricesSize<1){
return 0;
}
int max= 0;
for(int i=0;i<pricesSize-1;i++){
for(int j=i;j<pricesSize;j++){
int dif=prices[j]-prices[i];
if(dif>max){
max=dif;
}
}
}
return max;
}
结果可想而知,当数据量比较大时报超时,不能AC;因此只能另外想其它的算法来进行解决。
思路二
int maxProfit(int* prices, int pricesSize) {
if(prices==NULL||pricesSize<1){
return 0;
}
int max=0;
int buyPrice=prices[0];
for(int i=0;i<pricesSize;i++){
if(prices[i]<buyPrice){
buyPrice=prices[i];
}
else{
int dif=prices[i]-buyPrice;
max=(max>dif)?max:dif;
}
}
return max;
}
