[220125] Valid Mountain Array

Given an array of integers arr, return true if and only if it is a valid mountain array.

Recall that arr is a mountain array if and only if:

• arr.length >= 3
• There exists some i with 0 < i < arr.length - 1 such that:
  • arr[0] < arr[1] < ... < arr[i - 1] < arr[i] 
  • arr[i] > arr[i + 1] > ... > arr[arr.length - 1]

class Solution:
    def validMountainArray(self, arr):

        if len(arr) < 3:
            return False

        left, right = 0, len(arr) - 1
        
        # 从左往右搜索，直到不满足或超出范围停止
        while left + 1 < len(arr) - 1 and arr[left] < arr[left + 1]:
            left += 1
        
        # 从右往左，同理
        while right - 1 > 0 and arr[right] < arr[right - 1]:
            right -= 1
        
        # 检测 top 是不是同一个数
        return left == right
