please see the algo and let me know if i am doing it wrong:-

toggle= arr[i+1] > arr[i];
subseq=0;

for( i=0 ; i<len ;i++)
{

           if ( toggle == 1)
           {
                   if( arr[i+1] > arr[i])
                   {
                          subseq=subseq+2;

                   }

                   toggle=0;
           }
           else
           {

                      if(arr[i] > arr[i+1])
                      {

                           subseq=subseq+2;

                      }

                      toggle=1;
            }


}

print subseq;
