原题链接:Leetcode 121. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock
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
方法一:模拟
思路:
遍历一遍数组,维护最低价格和最大利润
c++代码:
class Solution {
public:
int maxProfit(vector<int>& prices) {
int minprice = INT_MAX, maxProfit = 0;
// 遍历的同时更新最低价格和最大利润
for(auto price : prices){
minprice = min(price, minprice);
maxProfit = max(price - minprice, maxProfit);
}
return maxProfit;
}
};
复杂度分析:
- 时间复杂度:O(n),需要遍历一遍数组
- 空间复杂度:O(1),常数个临时变量
