121. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock

You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.

You want to maximize your profit by choosing a single day to buy one stock and choosing a different day in the future to sell that stock.

Return the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction. If you cannot achieve any profit, return 0.

Example 1:

Input: prices = [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. Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before you sell.

Example 2:

Input: prices = [7,6,4,3,1] Output: 0 Explanation: In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0.

Constraints:

• 1 <= prices.length <= 105
• 0 <= prices[i] <= 104

Solution:

	public int maxProfit(int[] prices) {
        int res = 0;
        int buyPrice = prices[0];


        for(int i=0;i<prices.length;i++){
            if(prices[i]< buyPrice){
                buyPrice = prices[i];
            }else{
                res = Math.max(res, prices[i]-buyPrice);
            }
        }
        
        return res;
    }```
