Write an efficient function that takes stockPrices and returns the best profit I could have made from one purchase and one sale of one share of Apple stock yesterday.
func getMaxProfit(_ prices:[Double])->Double{
//we need to track a difference
guard prices.count > 0 else{
return 0
}
var priceDifference = 0.0
for time in 0..<prices.count{
let price = prices[time]
for laterTime in time + 1..<prices.count{
let laterPrice = prices[laterTime]
if (laterPrice - price) > priceDifference{
priceDifference = (laterPrice - price)
}
}
}
return priceDifference
}
let stockPrices:[Double] = [10, 7, 5, 8, 11, 9]
getMaxProfit(stockPrices)
