Problem
There is a line chart consisting of n
points connected by line segments. You are given a 1-indexed integer array y
. The kth
point has coordinates (k, y[k])
. There are no horizontal lines; that is, no two consecutive points have the same y-coordinate.
We can draw an infinitely long horizontal line. Return the maximum number of points of intersection of the line with the chart.

Example 1:
Input: y = [1,2,1,2,1,3,2] Output: 5 Explanation: As you can see in the image above, the line y = 1.5 has 5 intersections with the chart (in red crosses). You can also see the line y = 2 which intersects the chart in 4 points (in red crosses). It can be shown that there is no horizontal line intersecting the chart at more than 5 points. So the answer would be 5.
Example 2:
Input: y = [2,1,3,4,5] Output: 2 Explanation: As you can see in the image above, the line y = 1.5 has 2 intersections with the chart (in red crosses). You can also see the line y = 2 which intersects the chart in 2 points (in red crosses). It can be shown that there is no horizontal line intersecting the chart at more than 2 points. So the answer would be 2.

Constraints:
2 <= y.length <= 105

y[i] != y[i + 1]
