896. Monotonic Array

An array is monotonic if it is either monotone increasing or monotone decreasing.

An array A is monotone increasing if for all i <= j, A[i] <= A[j].  An array A is monotone decreasing if for all i <= j, A[i] >= A[j].

Return true if and only if the given array A is monotonic.

 

Note:

1. 1 <= A.length <= 50000
2. -100000 <= A[i] <= 100000
