leetcode problem 122 Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock II

Say you have an array prices for which the ith element is the price of a given stock on day i.

Design an algorithm to find the maximum profit. You may complete as many transactions as you like (i.e., buy one and sell one share of the stock multiple times).

Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions at the same time (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again).

Example 1:

Input: [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output: 7
Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 3 (price = 5), profit = 5-1 = 4.
             Then buy on day 4 (price = 3) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-3 = 3.

ut: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: 4
Explanation: Buy on day 1 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 5), profit = 5-1 = 4.
             Note that you cannot buy on day 1, buy on day 2 and sell them later, as you are
             engaging multiple transactions at the same time. You must sell before buying again.

Example 3:

Input: [7,6,4,3,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: In this case, no transaction is done, i.e. max profit = 0.

Constraints:

• 1 <= prices.length <= 3 * 10 ^ 4
• 0 <= prices[i] <= 10 ^ 4

算法解析：

7           1          5          3          6          4

    -6            4          -2         3         -2

首先计算每两天的差值，如果高于前一天则 算作收益，累加所有收益则为收益的最大值；

若连续两个区间为正，则视为中间没有交易；若区间间不连续，则前一天买，后一天卖

代码如下：

class Solution {
public:
    int maxProfit(vector<int>& prices) {
        int res = 0;
        for(int i = 1; i < prices.size(); i++)
        {
            if(prices[i] - prices[i - 1] > 0)
                res += prices[i] - prices[i-1];
        }
        return res;
    }
};
