/**
 * 1395. Count Number of Teams
 *
 * There are n soldiers standing in a line. Each soldier is assigned a unique rating value.
 * You have to form a team of 3 soldiers amongst them under the following rules:
 * Choose 3 soldiers with index (i, j, k) with rating (rating[i], rating[j], rating[k]).
 * A team is valid if:  (rating[i] < rating[j] < rating[k]) or (rating[i] > rating[j] > rating[k]) where (0 <= i < j < k < n).
 * Return the number of teams you can form given the conditions. (soldiers can be part of multiple teams).
 *
 * Example 1:
 * Input: rating = [2,5,3,4,1]
 * Output: 3
 * Explanation: We can form three teams given the conditions. (2,3,4), (5,4,1), (5,3,1).
 *
 * Example 2:
 * Input: rating = [2,1,3]
 * Output: 0
 * Explanation: We can't form any team given the conditions.
 *
 * Example 3:
 * Input: rating = [1,2,3,4]
 * Output: 4
 *
 * Constraints:
 * n == rating.length
 * 1 <= n <= 200
 * 1 <= rating[i] <= 10^5
