1051. Height Checker

Problem Explanation

Explanation:

  • We need to compare the current order of students' heights with the expected order.
  • To do this, we can create a sorted copy of the expected order and then compare each student's height with the corresponding height in the sorted expected order.
  • Count the number of indices where the heights do not match. Solution:

Solution Code

class Solution {
    public int heightChecker(int[] heights) {
        int[] expected = Arrays.copyOf(heights, heights.length);
        Arrays.sort(expected);
        
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < heights.length; i++) {
            if (heights[i] != expected[i]) {
                count++;
            }
        }
        
        return count;
    }
}
