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: Accepted)

def get_i() #空白区切の入力を数値(整数)の配列で返す
  return gets.chomp.split(" ").map(&:to_i)
end
def get_f() #空白区切の入力を数値(実数)の配列で返す
  return gets.chomp.split(" ").map(&:to_f)
end
def get() #空白区切の入力を文字列の配列で返す
  return gets.chomp.split(" ")
end
def get_nsp() #入力されたものを一文字ずつに区切った文字列の配列で返す
  return gets.chomp.split("")
end
def yn_judge(bool,y="Yes",n="No") #boolに真偽を投げることで、trueならy、falseならnの値を出力する
  return bool ? y : n 
end
def array(size1,init=nil,size2=-1) #size2に二次元配列時の最初の要素数、size1に次の配列の大きさ、initに初期値を投げることでその配列を返す
  if size2==-1
    return Array.new(size1){init}
  else
    return Array.new(size2){Array.new(size1){init}}
  end
end
