You are given an array/list 'prices' where the elements of the array represent the prices of the stock as they were yesterday and indices of the array represent minutes. Your task is to find and return the maximum profit you can make by buying and selling the stock. You can buy and sell the stock only once.

Note:

You can’t sell without buying first.
For Example:
For the given array [ 2, 100, 150, 120],
The maximum profit can be achieved by buying the stock at minute 0 when its price is Rs. 2 and selling it at minute 2 when its price is Rs. 150.
So, the output will be 148.

You are given an array of ‘N’ distinct integers and an integer ‘X’ representing the target sum. You have to tell the minimum number of elements you have to take to reach the target sum ‘X’.

Note:
You have an infinite number of elements of each type.
For example
If N=3 and X=7 and array elements are [1,2,3]. 
Way 1 - You can take 4 elements  [2, 2, 2, 1] as 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7.
Way 2 - You can take 3 elements  [3, 3, 1] as 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.
Here, you can see in Way 2 we have used 3 coins to reach the target sum of 7.
Hence the output is 3.
