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 Ruby (2.3.3) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)


class Object
	def is_true?
		self === true
	end
end

def main(one, two)
	p arr = two.split.map(&:to_i)
	tes = arr.map.with_index do |v, index|
		next false if index - 1 < 0
		next false if arr.size <= index + 1
		next false if v < arr[index - 1] and v < arr[index + 1]
		next false if v > arr[index - 1] and v > arr[index + 1]
		true
	end

	puts tes.count(&:is_true?)
end

main(gets.strip, gets.strip)
