You are given an array of integers nums. Return the length of the longest
subarray
of nums which is either
strictly increasing
or
strictly decreasing
.



Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,4,3,3,2]

Output: 2

Explanation:

The strictly increasing subarrays of nums are [1], [2], [3], [3], [4], and [1,4].

The strictly decreasing subarrays of nums are [1], [2], [3], [3], [4], [3,2], and [4,3].

Hence, we return 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,3,3,3]

Output: 1

Explanation:

The strictly increasing subarrays of nums are [3], [3], [3], and [3].

The strictly decreasing subarrays of nums are [3], [3], [3], and [3].

Hence, we return 1.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,2,1]

Output: 3

Explanation:

The strictly increasing subarrays of nums are [3], [2], and [1].

The strictly decreasing subarrays of nums are [3], [2], [1], [3,2], [2,1], and [3,2,1].

Hence, we return 3.
