CodingDatabases & SQLAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~35 min

Given daily prices and an integer k, find the maximum profit with at most k transactions (a transaction is a buy followed by a later sell). You may not engage in multiple transactions simultaneously. Constraints: 0 <= k <= 100, 0 <= n <= 1000, 0 <= price <= 1000.

Implement
max_profit_k(k: int, prices: list[int]) → int

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
