title: "Challenge 326: Max Profit"
challengeType: 29
dashedName: challenge-326

# --description--
Given an array of daily stock prices and a budget (in dollars), calculate the maximum profit you could make by buying and selling the stock over the given period.
- You may only sell after you buy.
- You may perform at most one buy and one sell transaction. Once you sell, you cannot buy again.
- You can only buy whole shares.
- Return the maximum possible profit as a string, rounded down to the nearest cent and formatted to two decimal places.
# --hints--
`get_max_profit([5, 6], 50)` should return `"10.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_max_profit([5, 6], 50), "10.00")`)
}})
```
`get_max_profit([8, 2, 5, 10], 20)` should return `"80.00"`.
