""" This program checks whether a sequence of 3 integers satisfies a strict
ordering constraint. The program takes three integer arguments, a, b, and c.
It prints True if a, b and c appear in strictly ascending order (that is, a
is smaller than b, which is smaller than c) OR in strictly descending order.
It prints False otherwise.

Examples:
>>> %Run p2.py 1 2 3
True
>>> %Run p2.py 3 2 1
True
>>> %Run p2.py 1 2 2
False
>>> %Run p2.py 1 5 4
False
>>> %Run p2.py 5 4 1
True
>>> %Run p2.py -5 1 2
True
>>> %Run p2.py 5 -1 -2
True
