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}.
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.
Constraints
- All values in input are integers.
- $3 \leq n \leq 20$
- p is a permutation of {1,\ 2,\ ...,\ n}.
