1. Initialize State for Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock with Cooldown
Load inputs and initialize algorithmic registers.
How to Think About This (Mental Model)
Unpack the problem parameters (`nums` (number[])) and clarify what is given vs what must be returned.
Identify the optimal data structure or pattern (e.g. pointers, hash map, or stack) to avoid redundant recalculations.
Walk through state transitions, handle edge cases (empty collections, single items, negative numbers), and return the verified result.
### The Mission
Welcome to **Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock with Cooldown**! In this challenge, your goal is to write a high-performance, clean solution in your chosen programming language.
You are given `nums` (number[]). Your job is to process this input using optimal logic and return number[].
### How to Approach It
- Read through the inputs carefully and look for patterns.
- Think about what state you need to track as you examine each element.
- Strive for optimal time complexity and keep your code readable and structured.
Examples
Example 1
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
-10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
