Minimize splits to generate monotonous Substrings from given String | Function to return final result.
Initialize variable to keep track of ongoing sequence.
If current sequence is neither increasing nor decreasing.
If prev char is greater.
If prev char is same.
Otherwise.
If current sequence is Non - Decreasing.
If prev char is smaller.
If prev char is same.
Update ongoing.
Otherwise.
Update ongoing.
Increase count.
If current sequence is Non - Increasing.
If prev char is greater , then update ongoing with D.
If prev char is equal , then update current with D.
Otherwise , update ongoing with N and increment count.
Return count + 1.
