### Problem
Given daily prices and a fee, maximize total profit from any number of completed buy/sell transactions. Hold at most one share at a time and sell before buying again. Charge fee once for each completed transaction.
```cpp
class Solution {
public:
int maxProfit(vector<int>& prices, int fee);
};
```
### Examples
**Example 1:**
```text
prices = [2,7,1,8], fee = 2
Output: 8
Explanation: (7-2-2)+(8-1-2)=8.
```
**Example 2:**
```text
prices = [9,6,3], fee = 0
Output: 0
Explanation: Making no transactions is optimal.
```
### Constraints
- Prices cover 1 through 50000 days.
- Each price is at least 1 and strictly below 50000.
- The fee is at least 0 and strictly below 50000.
### Contract considerations
Allow zero transactions and exclude simultaneous multiple holdings.
```hint Read the boundary condition

```
### Boundary reminders
Allow zero transactions and exclude simultaneous multiple holdings.
