Description

For each interior index i (1 <= i <= nums.length - 2) of the 0-indexed array nums, its beauty score is:
- 2 if nums[i] is strictly greater than every element to its left and strictly less than every element to its right;
- 1 if only the immediate neighbors satisfy nums[i-1] < nums[i] < nums[i+1];
- 0 otherwise.

Return the total sum of beauty scores for all interior indices.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: For each index i in the range 1 <= i <= 1:
- The beauty of nums[1] equals 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,4,6,4]
Output: 1
Explanation: For each index i in the range 1 <= i <= 2:
- The beauty of nums[1] equals 1.
- The beauty of nums[2] equals 0.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,2,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: For each index i in the range 1 <= i <= 1:
- The beauty of nums[1] equals 0.
