A subarray A[i], A[i+1], ..., A[j]
of A
is said to be turbulent if and only if:
<li>For <code>i <= k < j</code>, <code>A[k] > A[k+1]</code> when <code>k</code> is odd, and <code>A[k] < A[k+1]</code> when <code>k</code> is even;</li>
<li><strong>OR</strong>, for <code>i <= k < j</code>, <code>A[k] > A[k+1]</code> when <code>k</code> is even, and <code>A[k] < A[k+1]</code> when <code>k</code> is odd.</li>
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:
<li><code>1 <= A.length <= 40000</code></li>
<li><code>0 <= A[i] <= 10^9</code></li>
