+You are given an integer array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day, and an integer k.
+
+Find the maximum profit you can achieve. You may complete at most k transactions.
+
+Note: You may not engage in multiple transactions simultaneously (i.e., you must sell the stock before you buy again).
+*/
+/*
+Input: k = 2, prices = [2,4,1]
+Output: 2
