What I've done today is Summation of primes in Rust and Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock with Transaction Fee in JavaScript.

Math

Problem

Summation of primes

Problem 10 

The sum of the primes below 10 is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 17.

Find the sum of all the primes below two million.

Solution

Sieve for prime!!!!

Extern crate again ;D

Implementation

extern crate primal;

fn main() {
    let sieve = primal::Sieve::new(2_000_000);
    let mut ans64: i64 = 0;
    for p in sieve.primes_from(2) {
        ans64 += p as i64;
    }
    println!("Answer is {}", ans64);
}

714. Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock with Transaction Fee


Your are given an array of integers prices, for which the i-th element is the price of a given stock on day i; and a non-negative integer fee representing a transaction fee.

You may complete as many transactions as you like, but you need to pay the transaction fee for each transaction. You may not buy more than 1 share of a stock at a time (ie. you must sell the stock share before you buy again.)

Return the maximum profit you can make.

Example 1:
Input: prices = [1, 3, 2, 8, 4, 9], fee = 2
Output: 8
Explanation: The maximum profit can be achieved by:
Buying at prices[0] = 1
Selling at prices[3] = 8
Buying at prices[4] = 4
Selling at prices[5] = 9
The total profit is ((8 - 1) - 2) + ((9 - 4) - 2) = 8.
Note:

0 < prices.length <= 50000.
0 < prices[i] < 50000.
0 <= fee < 50000.

Solution

I remembered that similar question is example problem of Divide and Conquer algorithm in Introduction to Algorithm. But this question can not be done with this method.

We should maintain the max profit of holding stock and not holding stock, and recursively conquer it.

Implementation

/**
 * @param {number[]} prices
 * @param {number} fee
 * @return {number}
 */
var maxProfit = (prices, fee) => {
  let nothold = 0;
  let hold = -prices[0] - fee;
  for(const p of prices){
    nothold = (nothold>hold+p)?nothold:hold+p;
    hold = (hold>nothold-p-fee)?hold:nothold-p-fee;
  }
  return nothold;
};
