Problem Description:
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 two transactions.
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: [3,3,5,0,0,3,1,4] Output: 6 Explanation: Buy on day 4 (price = 0) and sell on day 6 (price = 3), profit = 3-0 = 3. Then buy on day 7 (price = 1) and sell on day 8 (price = 4), profit = 4-1 = 3.Example 2:
Input: [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.
Analysis:
这个思路是借鉴某位大神的思路,模拟整个流程最终得出结果。
- buy1[i] = max( - prices[i], buy1[i - 1])
- sell1[i] = max(buy1[i - 1] + price[i], sell1[i - 1])
- buy2[i] = max( sell1[i -1] - prices[i], buy2[i - 1])
- sell2[i] = max(buy2[i - 1] + price[i], sell2[i - 1])
代码如下:
Code:
class Solution {
public int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
int s1 = 0, s2 = 0, b1 = Integer.MIN_VALUE, b2 = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for(int i = 0; i < prices.length; i++) {
b1 = Math.max(b1, -prices[i]);
s1 = Math.max(s1, b1 + prices[i]);
b2 = Math.max(b2, s1 - prices[i]);
s2 = Math.max(s2, b2 + prices[i]);
}
return s2;
}
}
