Number Of Local Maximum Points

H
/**
 * [NumberOfLocalMaximumPoints](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-indices-of-all-local-maxima-and-local-minima-in-an-array/) is an algorithm to find relative bigger numbers compared to their neighbors
 *
 * Notes:
 * - like the other similar local maxima search function find relative maxima points in array but doesn't stop at one but returns total point count
 * - runs on array A of size n and returns the local maxima count using divide and conquer methodology
 *
 * @complexity: O(n) (on average )
 * @complexity: O(n) (worst case)
 * @flow
