Answer:

The function in Python is as follows:

def heightChecker(heights):

   expected = []

   count = 0

   for i in range(len(heights)):

       expected.append(heights[i])      

   expected.sort()

   for i in range(len(heights)):

       if expected[i] != heights[i]:

           count+=1  

   return count

Step-by-step explanation:

Function to return the number of out of position students

See comment for complete question

This defines the function. It receives the heights as a parameter, from the main

def heightChecker(heights):

This initializes a list, (expected list)

   expected = []

This initializes the count of out of position students

   count = 0

This iterates through the original list

   for i in range(len(heights)):

The list item is then appended to the expected list

       expected.append(heights[i])      

This sorts the expected list in ascending order

   expected.sort()

This iterates through the original and the expected lists

   for i in range(len(heights)):

If list elements at the same index are not the same, count is incremented by 1

       if expected[i] != heights[i]:

           count+=1  

This returns count

   return count
