Problem #1: Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock III

You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day. Find the maximum profit you can achieve. You may complete at most two transactions. Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions simultaneously (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again). Example 1: Input: prices = [3,3,5,0,0,3,1,4] Output: 6 Explanation: Buy on day 4 (price = 0) and sell on day 6 (price = 3), profit = 3-0 = 3. Then buy on day 7 (price = 1) and sell on day 8 (price = 4), profit = 4-1 = 3. Example 2: Input: prices = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 4 Explanation: Buy on day 1 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 5), profit = 5-1 = 4. Note that you cannot buy on day 1, buy on day 2 and sell them later, as you are engaging multiple transactions at the same time. You must sell before buying again. Example 3: Input: prices = [7,6,4,3,1] Output: 0 Explanation: In this case, no transaction is done, i.e. max profit = 0. Constraints: 1 <= prices.length <= 105 0 <= prices[i] <= 105
