Suppose you have perfect knowledge and are able to buy and sell the stock multiple times. Write an algorithm that outputs the maximum profit that can be made by exactly n sales.
- 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
- Each buy must be made on another date after the previous sale
Input
A blank-separated array of numbers.
The first number is the number of sales allowed.
All following numbers are stock-prices.
Each position symbolises the stock-price of a given day.
Output
The maximum profit that can be made within that period by n sales.
Constraints
- 2 <=
n<= 10 - 2 *
n<=days with stock-prices<= 50 - 1 <=
stock-price<= 2,147,483,647
Example
Input:
3 12 11 13 9 12 8 14 13 15
