Given an array of positive integers containing the price of stocks and transaction fee, the task is to find the maximum profit and the difference of days on which you are getting the maximum profit. 

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {6, 1, 7, 2, 8, 4}
      transactionFee = 2
Output: 8 1

Input: arr[] = {7, 1, 5, 3, 6, 4}
       transactionFee = 1
Output: 5 1

Explanation: Considering the first example: arr[] = {6, 1, 7, 2, 8, 4}, transactionFee = 2 

  1. If we buy and sell on the same day, we will not get any profit that’s why the difference between the buying and selling must be at least 1.
  2. With the difference of 1 day, if we buy a stock of rupees 1 and sell it rupees 7 with the difference of day 1 which mean purchase on day 2 and sell it next day,then after paying the transaction fee of rupees 2 i.e. 7-1-2=4, we will get profit of 4 rupees, same as if we purchase on day 4 and sell it on day 5 with the difference of day 1 then we get profit of 4 rupees. So the total profit is 8 rupees.
  3. With the difference of 2 days, we will not get any profit.
  4. With the difference of 3 days, if we buy stock of rupees 1 and sell it rupees 8 with the difference of 3 days which mean purchase on day 2 and sell it after 3 days then maximum profit after paying the transaction fee of rupees 2 i.e.8-1-2=5 we will get the profit of 5 rupees.
  5. With the difference of 4 days, if we buy stocks of rupees 1 and sell it rupees 4 with the difference of 4 days which mean purchase on day 2 and sell it after 4 days then after paying the transaction fee of rupees 2 i.e. 4-1-2=1, we will get profit of 1 rupees.
  6. With the difference of 5 days, we will not get any profit.

Approach: 

  1. Traverse the whole array with the difference of each day.
  2. Check the profit by subtracting the price of each day including transaction fee.
  3. Trace the maximum profit and store the diff_days on which we are getting the maximum profit.
  4. Repeat the above steps until the loop terminates.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++




// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int max_profit(int a[], int b[], int n, int fee)
{
    int i, j, profit;
    int l, r, diff_day = 1, sum = 0;
    // b[0] will contain the maximum profit
    b[0] = 0;
    // b[1] will contain the day on which we are getting the
    // maximum profit
    b[1] = diff_day;
    for (i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        l = 0;
        r = diff_day;
        sum = 0;
 
        for (j = n - 1; j >= i; j--) {
            // here finding the max profit
            profit = (a[r] - a[l]) - fee;
 
            // if we get less then or equal to zero it means
            // we are not getting the profit
            if (profit > 0)
                sum = sum + profit;
            l++;
            r++;
        }
        // check if sum is greater then maximum then store
        // the new maximum
        if (b[0] < sum) {
            b[0] = sum;
            b[1] = diff_day;
        }
        diff_day++;
    }
    return 0;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 6, 1, 7, 2, 8, 4 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int b[2];
    int tranFee = 2;
    max_profit(arr, b, n, tranFee);
    cout << b[0] << ", " << b[1] << endl;
    return 0;
}

                sum = sum + profit;
            l++;
            r++;
        }
        // check if sum is greater then maximum then store
        // the new maximum
        if (b[0] < sum) {
            b[0] = sum;

Complexity Analysis:

  • Time complexity: O(N2)

Better approach: Same as https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/stock-buy-sell/ but adds diff days as well
