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 (ie, you must sell the stock before you buy again).
看来以后碰到与2相关的问题,一定要想想能不能用二分法来做!
以下复制pickless的解说,我认为我不能比他讲的更好了
O(n^2)的算法非常easy想到:
找寻一个点j,将原来的price[0..n-1]切割为price[0..j]和price[j..n-1],分别求两段的最大profit。
进行优化:
对于点j+1,求price[0..j+1]的最大profit时,非常多工作是反复的,在求price[0..j]的最大profit中已经做过了。
类似于Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock,能够在O(1)的时间从price[0..j]推出price[0..j+1]的最大profit。
可是怎样从price[j..n-1]推出price[j+1..n-1]?反过来思考,我们能够用O(1)的时间由price[j+1..n-1]推出price[j..n-1]。
终于算法:
数组l[i]记录了price[0..i]的最大profit,
数组r[i]记录了price[i..n]的最大profit。
已知l[i],求l[i+1]是简单的,相同已知r[i],求r[i-1]也非常easy。
最后,我们再用O(n)的时间找出最大的l[i]+r[i],即为题目所求。
