minimumLines

You are given a 2D integer array <code>stockPrices</code> where <code>stockPrices[i] = [dayi, pricei]</code> indicates the price of the stock on day <code>dayi</code> is <code>pricei</code>. A line chart is created from the array by plotting the points on an XY plane with the X-axis representing the day and the Y-axis representing the price and connecting adjacent points. One such example is shown below:
<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2022/03/30/1920px-pushkin_population_historysvg.png" style="width: 500px; height: 313px;" />
Return the minimum number of lines needed to represent the line chart.

&nbsp;
Example 1:
<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2022/03/30/ex0.png" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;" />
<pre>
Input: stockPrices = [[1,7],[2,6],[3,5],[4,4],[5,4],[6,3],[7,2],[8,1]]
Output: 3
Explanation:
The diagram above represents the input, with the X-axis representing the day and Y-axis representing the price.
The following 3 lines can be drawn to represent the line chart:
- Line 1 (in red) from (1,7) to (4,4) passing through (1,7), (2,6), (3,5), and (4,4).
- Line 2 (in blue) from (4,4) to (5,4).
- Line 3 (in green) from (5,4) to (8,1) passing through (5,4), (6,3), (7,2), and (8,1).
It can be shown that it is not possible to represent the line chart using less than 3 lines.
</pre>

Example 2:
<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2022/03/30/ex1.png" style="width: 325px; height: 325px;" />
<pre>
Input: stockPrices = [[3,4],[1,2],[7,8],[2,3]]
Output: 1
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram above, the line chart can be represented with a single line.
</pre>

Constraints:

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= stockPrices.length &lt;= 105</code></li>
	<li><code>stockPrices[i].length == 2</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= dayi, pricei &lt;= 109</code></li>
	<li>All <code>dayi</code> are distinct.</li>
</ul>
