/**
 * 896. Monotonic Array
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/monotonic-array/
 * Difficulty: Easy
 *
 * An array is monotonic if it is either monotone increasing or monotone decreasing.
 *
 * An array nums is monotone increasing if for all i <= j, nums[i] <= nums[j]. An array nums
 * is monotone decreasing if for all i <= j, nums[i] >= nums[j].
 *
 * Given an integer array nums, return true if the given array is monotonic, or false otherwise.
