Problem Statement

We have a permutation p = {p_1,\ p_2,\ ...,\ p_n} of {1,\ 2,\ ...,\ n}.

Print the number of elements p_i (1 < i < n) that satisfy the following condition:

p_i is the second smallest number among the three numbers p_{i - 1}, p_i, and p_{i + 1}.

Constraints

All values in input are integers.

3 \leq n \leq 20

p is a permutation of {1,\ 2,\ ...,\ n}.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

n
p_1 p_2 ... p_n

Output

Print the number of elements p_i (1 < i < n) that satisfy the condition.

Sample Input 1

5
1 3 5 4 2

Sample Output 1

2

p_2 = 3 is the second smallest number among p_1 = 1, p_2 = 3, and p_3 = 5. Also, p_4 = 4 is the second smallest number among p_3 = 5, p_4 = 4, and p_5 = 2. These two elements satisfy the condition.

Sample Input 2

9
9 6 3 2 5 8 7 4 1

Sample Output 2

5

Solution in Go (1.6) (judge verdict: Accepted)

package main

import (
  
	"fmt"
)

func main() {

	var n int

	fmt.Scan(&n)

	p := make([]int,n)

	for i:=0;i<n;i++{

		fmt.Scan(&p[i])
	}

	cnt :=0

	for i:= 1; i< n-1 ;i++{

		if p[i-1] < p[i] && p[i]<p[i+1]{

			cnt++

		}else if p[i+1] < p[i] && p[i] < p[i-1]{

			cnt++
		}

	}

	fmt.Println(cnt)
