<p>You are given an array <code>prices</code> where <code>prices[i]</code> is the price of a given stock on the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> day.</p> <p>You want to maximize your profit by choosing a <strong>single day</strong> to buy one stock and choosing a <strong>different day in the future</strong> to sell that stock.</p> <p>Return <em>the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction</em>. If you cannot achieve any profit, return <code>0</code>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> prices = [7,1,5,3,6,4] <strong>Output:</strong> 5 <strong>Explanation:</strong> Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5. Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before you sell. </pre> <p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> prices = [7,6,4,3,1] <strong>Output:</strong> 0 <strong>Explanation:</strong> In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0. </pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li><code>1 <= prices.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li> <li><code>0 <= prices[i] <= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li> </ul>
