A 'peak' day is defined as a day where the temperature is higher than the day before and the day after. Boundary days (first and last day) cannot be classified as peaks.\n\nInput Format: - A single line containing N, followed by N space-separated integers representing the temperature readings.\n\nOutput Format: - A single integer representing the number of peak days.\n\nExample: Input: 5 1 3 2 4 5\nOutput: 2 (Days 3 and 4 are peaks).
