Problem: Maximize Stock Trading Profit

Given an array of stock prices, you can complete at most k transactions. Find the maximum profit.

def maxProfit(k, prices):
    if not prices or k == 0:
        return 0
    
    n = len(prices)
    if k >= n // 2:
        # Unlimited transactions
        return sum(max(0, prices[i+1] - prices[i]) for i in range(n-1))
    
    # dp[i][j] = max profit on day i with j transactions
    buy = [-prices[0]] * (k + 1)
    sell = [0] * (k + 1)
    
    for price in prices:
        for j in range(k, 0, -1):
            sell[j] = max(sell[j], buy[j] + price)
            buy[j] = max(buy[j], sell[j-1] - price)
