Assuming there must be a buy and a sell, return the index of the buying price and index of the selling price with maximum profit and minimum loss.
Also build your own test cases.
import math
prices = [100, 90, 95, 100, 110]
def get_max_profit(prices):
buy_p = prices[0]
sell_p = prices[1]
profit = buy_p - sell_p
buy, sell = 0, 1
buy_in = 0
for i in range(1, len(prices)):
if prices[i] < buy_p:
buy_p = prices[i]
buy = i
elif prices[i] - buy_p > profit:
profit = prices[i] - buy_p
sell = i
buy_in = buy
return [buy_in, sell]
print(get_max_profit(prices))
