  Array Dynamic Programming

思路：

1.先求后项与前项的差分数组diff[]；

2.再利用状态转移方程：dp[i] = max(diff[i], dp[i-1] + diff[i]);求dp；

3.求dp数组中的最大值。

code:

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