Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock IV
Say you have an array 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 at most k transactions.
Note:
You may not engage in multiple transactions at the same time (ie, you must sell the stock before you buy again).
Example
Input: [2,4,1], k = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: Buy on day 1 (price = 2) and sell on day 2 (price = 4), profit = 4-2 = 2.
Solution
class Solution:
def maxProfit(self, k, prices):
"""
:type k: int
:type prices: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
lenth = len(prices)
ret = 0
if lenth<2:
return ret
if lenth//2<k:
for i in range(1,lenth):
if prices[i]>prices[i-1]:
ret+= prices[i]-prices[i-1]
return ret
local_list = [0]*(k+1)
global_list = [0]*(k+1)
for i in range(1,lenth):
diff = prices[i]-prices[i-1]
for j in range(k, 0, -1):
local_list[j] = max(global_list[j-1]+max(diff, 0), local_list[j]+diff)
global_list[j] = max(global_list[j], local_list[j])
return global_list[k]
