The problem

Given the 0-indexed arrays prices and profits of length n. There are n items in an store where the ith item has a price of prices[i] and a profit of profits[i].

Example

Input
prices = [10,2,3,4], profits = [100,2,7,10]
Output
19
Explanation
We can't pick the item with index i=0 since there are no indices j and k such that the condition holds.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def maxProfit(self, prices: List[int], profits: List[int]) -> int:
        n = len(prices)
        ans = -1
        for j, x in enumerate(profits):
            left = right = 0
            for i in range(j):
                if prices[i] < prices[j] and left < profits[i]:
                    left = profits[i]
            for k in range(j + 1, n):
                if prices[j] < prices[k] and right < profits[k]:
                    right = profits[k]
            if left and right:
                ans = max(ans, left + x + right)
        return ans
