+# Let's call any (contiguous) subarray B (of A) a mountain
+# if the following properties hold:
+#
+# B.length >= 3
+# There exists some 0 < i < B.length - 1
+# such that B[0] < B[1] < ... B[i-1] < B[i] > B[i+1] > ... > B[B.length - 1]
+# (Note that B could be any subarray of A, including the entire array A.)
+#
+# Given an array A of integers, return the length of the longest mountain.
+#
+# Return 0 if there is no mountain.
+#
+# Example 1:
+#
+# Input: [2,1,4,7,3,2,5]
+# Output: 5
+# Explanation: The largest mountain is [1,4,7,3,2] which has length 5.
+# Example 2:
+#
+# Input: [2,2,2]
+# Output: 0
+# Explanation: There is no mountain.
+#
+# Note:
+# - 0 <= A.length <= 10000
+# - 0 <= A[i] <= 10000
