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.
Example 1:
Input: [7, 1, 5, 3, 6, 4] Output: 5 max. difference = 6-1 = 5 (not 7-1 = 6, as selling price needs to be larger than buying price)
Example 2:
Input: [7, 6, 4, 3, 1] Output: 0 In this case, no transaction is done, i.e. max profit = 0.

当用如下暴力方法时,超时
public static int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
int max=Integer.MIN_VALUE;
int sum = prices.length;
for(int i = 0; i < sum; i++){
for(int j = i + 1; j < sum; j++){
max = max > (prices[j] - prices[i]) ? max : (prices[j] - prices[i]);
}
}
return max < 0 ? 0 : max;
}
改为如下方式,ac
public int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
if(prices == null || prices.length == 0)
return 0;
int max=Integer.MIN_VALUE;
int sum = prices.length;
int minNode = prices[0];
for(int i = 1; i < sum; i++){
max = max > (prices[i] - minNode) ? max : (prices[i] - minNode);
minNode = minNode > prices[i] ? prices[i]:minNode;
}
return max < 0 ? 0 : max;
}
