Problem in understanding the solution

In the editorial, it’s given that the series should be strictly increasing or decreasing. But, in some test cases, I can see that the series not being strictly increasing or decreasing has true as an output. Please help!

@BloodyOssan According to the question, the following possibilities may arise after splitting a sequence into two sequences:

-First Sequence is strictly decreasing , 2nd sequence is strictly increasing–> return true
-First Sequence is strictly increasing, 2nd sequence strictly decreases-------> return false
-If one sequence is empty and the other sequence is strictly increasing/decreasing—>return true.
