10205: ABC132 - B - Ordinary Number
[Creator : ]
Description
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 $p_{i + 1}$.
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:
```
$n$
