Problem Statement: You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the i-th day. You want to maximize your profit by choosing a single day to buy one stock and choosing a different day in the future to sell that stock.

Write a function maxProfit that returns the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction. If you cannot achieve any profit, return 0.

Example 1: Input: prices = [7, 1, 5, 3, 6, 4] Output: 5 Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6 - 1 = 5.

Example 2: Input: prices = [7, 6, 4, 3, 1] Output: 0 Explanation: In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0.

Example 3: 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.

Constraints:

1 <= prices.length <= 10^5 0 <= prices[i] <= 10^4
