Problem description
Bug Description
Current description of the problem:
You are given an integer array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.
On each day, you may decide to buy and/or sell the stock. You can only hold at most one share of the stock at any time. However, you can buy it then immediately sell it on the same day.
Find and return the maximum profit you can achieve.
Issue:
The highlighted sentence is confusing. Literally, it suggests that buying and immediately selling at the same price could be a meaningful operation, which is not the case.
Proposed wording:
After selling a stock, you are allowed to buy it again on the same day if you wish.
This clarifies that the intention is to allow selling and then opening a new position on the same day, rather than encouraging meaningless buy-then-sell transactions.
Language Used for Code

Code used for Submit/Run operation
