The first test case seems to be invalid answer. Please check it

Hi Wenwu: Could you be more specific about what you think the problem is?

False exemple description

GEORGIOS BEKAS on 14 Feb 2018

y=[];

for i = 1:length(delta)
test = max(delta(1:i));
maxsofar=max(delta(1:i-1));
test2=min(delta(1:i));
minsofar=min(delta(1:i-1));
if test == delta(i) && delta(i)~= maxsofar
y=[y,1];
elseif test2 == delta(i) && delta(i)~= minsofar
y=[y,-1];
else
y=[y,0];
end
end

this code despite its giving correct results it is rejected by the tests...
