You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day, and an integer fee representing a transaction fee.
Find the maximum profit you can achieve. You may complete as many transactions as you like, but you need to pay the transaction fee for each transaction.
Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions simultaneously (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again).
Example
Input: prices = [1,3,2,8,4,9], fee = 2
Output: 8
Explanation: The maximum profit can be achieved by:
- Buying at prices[0] = 1
- Selling at prices[3] = 8
- Buying at prices[4] = 4
- Selling at prices[5] = 9
The total profit is ((8 - 1) - 2) + ((9 - 4) - 2) = 8.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} prices
* @param {number} fee
* @return {number}
*/
var maxProfit = function (prices, fee) {
// Set max to 0
let max = 0;
// Set min to prices[0]
let min = prices[0];
// Iterate through prices
for (let i = 1; i < prices.length; i++) {
// If prices[i] is less than min
if (prices[i] < min) {
// Set min to prices[i]
min = prices[i];
}
// If prices[i] is greater than min plus fee
if (prices[i] > min + fee) {
// Set max to max plus prices[i] minus min minus fee
max += prices[i] - min - fee;
// Set min to prices[i] minus fee
min = prices[i] - fee;
}
}
// Return max
return max;
};
