1137 Height Checker

1137 Height Checker

Height Checker image

A school is trying to take an annual photo of all the students. The students are asked to stand in a single file line in non-decreasing order by height. Let this ordering be represented by the integer array expected where expected[i] is the expected height of the ith student in line.

You are given an integer array heights representing the current order that the students are standing in. Each heights[i] is the height of the ith student in line (0-indexed).

Return *the number of indices where *heights[i] != expected[i].

 

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
**Input:** heights = [1,1,4,2,1,3]
**Output:** 3
**Explanation:** 
heights:  [1,1,4,2,1,3]
expected: [1,1,1,2,3,4]
Indices 2, 4, and 5 do not match.

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
**Input:** heights = [5,1,2,3,4]
**Output:** 5
**Explanation:**
heights:  [5,1,2,3,4]
expected: [1,2,3,4,5]
All indices do not match.

Example 3:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
**Input:** heights = [1,2,3,4,5]
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:**
heights:  [1,2,3,4,5]
expected: [1,2,3,4,5]
All indices match.

 

Constraints:

1 <= heights.length <= 100
1 <= heights[i] <= 100

            result = result + 1;
        }
    }
    return result;

}

    if (f > s) return  1;
    if (f < s) return -1;
    return 0;
