714. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock with Transaction Fee

Medium

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 1:

Input: prices = [1,3,2,8,4,9], fee = 2

Output: 8

Explanation: The maximum profit can be achieved by:

The total profit is ((8 - 1) - 2) + ((9 - 4) - 2) = 8.

Example 2:

Input: prices = [1,3,7,5,10,3], fee = 3

Output: 6

Solution

class Solution {
    fun maxProfit(prices: IntArray, fee: Int): Int {
        var cash = 0
        var hold = -prices[0]
        for (i in 1 until prices.size) {
            cash = cash.coerceAtLeast(hold + prices[i] - fee)
            hold = hold.coerceAtLeast(cash - prices[i])
        }
        return cash
    }
