Stock Prices
February 14, 2017
Today’s exercise is a classic of both algorithm classes and corporate interviews:
Given a list of daily stock prices for a month, find the day on which you can buy a stock and the day on which you can sell the stock that gives the maximum gain.
Your task is to write a program that finds the optimal starting and ending dates for stock purchase and sale. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
