A subarray A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[j] of A is said to be turbulent if and only if:

For i <= k < j, A[k] > A[k+1] when k is odd, and A[k] < A[k+1] when k is even;
OR, for i <= k < j, A[k] > A[k+1] when k is even, and A[k] < A[k+1] when k is odd.

That is, the subarray is turbulent if the comparison sign flips between each adjacent pair of elements in the subarray.
Return the length of a maximum size turbulent subarray of A.
 

Example 1:
Input: [9,4,2,10,7,8,8,1,9]
Output: 5
Explanation: (A[1] > A[2] < A[3] > A[4] < A[5])


Example 2:
Input: [4,8,12,16]
Output: 2


Example 3:
Input: [100]
Output: 1




 
Note:

1 <= A.length <= 40000
0 <= A[i] <= 10^9
