Find Peak Element in Unimodal Array
You are given a unimodal array (an array that increases and then decreases). You need to find a peak element in this array, which satisfies the condition that the element is greater than or equal to its neighbors. If the array is [1, 3, 5, 4, 2], the peak is 5 at index 2. If there are multiple peaks, return the index of any peak.
Input Format:
- The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 1000), the number of elements in the array.
- The second line contains n space-separated integers representing the array elements.
Output Format:
- A single integer representing the index of one peak element.
Example:
Input:
5
1 3 5 4 2
Output:
2
