+
+## Goal
+Given is the price-development of an arbitrary stock.
+
+![stock-price over time](doc/stock-price.JPG)
+
+Suppose you have perfect knowledge and are able to buy and sell the stock **twice**.
+Write an algorithm that outputs the maximum profit that can be made.
+
+ * The price-development is given for an arbitrary number of days.  
+ * A stock can only be sold on the next day. 
+ * Stock-prices are given as integers
+ * **The second buy must be made on another date after the first sale**
+  
+### Input
+A blank-separated array of stock-prices. 
+
+Each position symbolises the stock-price of a given day.
+
+### Output
+The maximum profit that can be made within that day.
+    
+### Constraints
+ * 4 <= `days with stock-prices` <= 50
+ * 1 <= `stock-price` <= 2,147,483,647
+
+### Example
+**Input:** 
+`12 11 13 9 12 8 14 13 15`
+
+**Output:** 
+`10`
