Maximum Stock Trading Profit
Maximum Stock Trading Profit
You are given a sequence of daily stock prices. Your task is to determine the maximum profit that can be achieved by buying on one day and selling on a later day. In other words, if the prices are given as an array \(P = [p_1, p_2, \dots, p_n]\), you need to compute:
\(\max_{1 \le i < j \le n} (p_j - p_i)\)
If no profit can be made, return 0.
Note: The buying day must come before the selling day.
inputFormat
The input is given via standard input (stdin) and consists of two lines:
- The first line contains a single integer \(n\) (number of days).
- The second line contains \(n\) space-separated integers representing the stock prices for each day.
outputFormat
Output a single integer via standard output (stdout), which is the maximum profit that can be made. If no profit is possible, output 0.
