Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock

lc 121 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 (i.e., buy one and sell one share of the stock), design an algorithm to find the maximum profit.

Note that you cannot sell a stock before you buy one.

Input: [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output: 5
Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.
             Not 7-1 = 6, as selling price needs to be larger than buying price.

class Solution {
    public int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
        if (prices == null || prices.length == 0) return 0;
        int res = 0;
        int minValue = prices[0];
        for (int i = 1 ; i < prices.length; i++) {
            res = Math.max(res, prices[i] - minValue);
            minValue = Math.min(minValue, prices[i]);
        }
        return res;
    }
}

Design an algorithm to find the maximum profit. You may complete as many transactions as you like (i.e., buy one and sell one share of the stock multiple times).

Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions at the same time (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again).
