Longest Turbulent Subarray
<p>Given an integer array <code>arr</code>, return <em>the length of a maximum size turbulent subarray of</em> <code>arr</code>.</p>

<p>A subarray is <strong>turbulent</strong> if the comparison sign flips between each adjacent pair of elements in the subarray.</p>

<p>More formally, a subarray <code>[arr[i], arr[i + 1], ..., arr[j]]</code> of <code>arr</code> is said to be turbulent if and only if:</p>

<ul>
	<li>For <code>i &lt;= k &lt; j</code>:

    <ul>
    	<li><code>arr[k] &gt; arr[k + 1]</code> when <code>k</code> is odd, and</li>
    	<li><code>arr[k] &lt; arr[k + 1]</code> when <code>k</code> is even.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Or, for <code>i &lt;= k &lt; j</code>:
    <ul>
    	<li><code>arr[k] &gt; arr[k + 1]</code> when <code>k</code> is even, and</li>
    	<li><code>arr[k] &lt; arr[k + 1]</code> when <code>k</code> is odd.</li>
    </ul>
    </li>

</ul>
