It is both an alkene and an alkyne — an alkenyne.

Explanation:

The condensed structure of your compound is

#"CH"_3"C≡CCH"_2"CH"_2"CH=CHCH"_3#

You number the chain from the end nearest to a multiple bond.

If the multiple bonds are the same distance from the ends of the chain, then you number from the end closest to double bond.

The IUPAC name is oct-2-en-6-yne.
