Journey
My journey started in my second year of college when I saw my friends practicing coding questions, learning new programming languages, and developing individual projects. Seeing them inspired me to start learning and practicing coding as well. While solving problems on various coding platforms, I realized that I needed to think more critically to tackle difficult challenges. This experience helped me develop a habit of problem-solving.

Ninjas has been given an array. He wants to find a subarray such that the sum of all elements in the subarray is maximum.

Subarray 'A' is greater than sub-array 'B' if sum(A) > sum(B). If two sub-array have the same maximum sum, then output the subarray that has a larger length.

A subarray means a contiguous part of an array. For example, In 'arr' = [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2], [2, 3, 4] are the contiguous subarry but [1, 3, 4] is not a subarray.

Note:

More than one sub-array can have a maximum sum, in that case, output any.

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.
