Stock Maximum Profit

An analyst is analyzing a stock over a period of n days. The price of the stock on the ith day is price[i], and the profit obtained is denoted by profit[i]. The analyst wants to pick a triplet of days (i, j, k) such that (i < j < k) and price[i] < price[j] < price[k] in such a way that the total profit, i.e. profit[i] + profit[j] + profit[k] is maximized.

Find the maximum total profit possible. If there is no valid triplet, return -1.

Function Description

Complete the function getMaximumProfit which has the following parameters:

  • int price[n]: the prices of the stock on each day
  • int profit[n]: the profits obtained from the stock on each day

    • Returns

  • long_int: the maximum possible total profit

    • Example 1: 

    Input:  price = [2, 3, 1, 5, 9], profit = [1, 2, 6, 1, 5]
    Output: 12 
    Explanation:
    

An optimal triplet (considering 1-based indexing) is (3, 4, 5). Here 1 < 5 < 9, and total profit = 6 + 1 + 5 = 12.

    Example 2: 

    Input:  price = [4, 3, 2, 1], profit = [4, 3, 2, 1]
    Output: -1 
    Explanation:
    

There is no valid triplet.
    Constraints:
    • 1 <= n <= 4000
    • 1 <= price[i], profit[i] <= 109
    Testcase
    Result
    Case 1
