Given an array Arr[]. The task is to count the number of elements Arr[i] in the given array such that one or more smaller elements are present on the right side of the element Arr[i] in array.

Examples:  

Input: Arr[] = { 3, 9, 4, 6, 7, 5 } 
Output: 3
Numbers that counts are: 9, 6, 7 
9 – As all numbers are present after 9 are smaller than 9, 
6 – 5 is smaller element present after it, 
7 – 5 is smaller element which is present after it.

Input: Arr[] = { 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } 
Output:
 

Approach: 
Start traversing array from the last till first element of the array. While traversing maintain a min variable which stores the minimum element till now and a counter variable. Compare min variable with the current element. If min variable is smaller than current element Arr[i], increase the counter and if min is greater than Arr[i] then update the min.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to return the count
int count_greater(int arr[], int n)
{
    int min = INT_MAX;
    int counter = 0;
 
    // Comparing the given element
    // with minimum element till
    // occurred till now.
    for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (arr[i] > min) {
            counter++;
        }
 
        // Updating the min variable
        if (arr[i] <= min) {
            min = arr[i];
        }
    }
 
    return counter;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
 
    cout << count_greater(arr, n) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// function to return the count
static int count_greater(int arr[], int n)
{
    int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    int counter = 0;
 
    // Comparing the given element
    // with minimum element till
    // occurred till now.
    for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        if (arr[i] > min)
        {
            counter++;
        }
 
        // Updating the min variable
        if (arr[i] <= min)
        {
            min = arr[i];
        }
    }
    return counter;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int n = arr.length;
 
    System.out.println(count_greater(arr, n));
}
}

Python3




# Python3 implementation for the above approach
import sys
 
# function to return the count
def count_greater(arr, n) :
 
    min = sys.maxsize;
    counter = 0;
 
    # Comparing the given element
    # with minimum element till
    # occurred till now.
    for i in range(n - 1, -1, -1) :
        if (arr[i] > min) :
            counter += 1;
     
        # Updating the min variable
        if (arr[i] <= min) :
            min = arr[i];
 
    return counter;
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    arr = [ 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ];
    n = len(arr);
 
    print(count_greater(arr, n));

    int counter = 0;

// Javascript implementation
 
// Function to return the count

{
    let min = Number.MAX_VALUE;
    let counter = 0;
 
    // Comparing the given element
    // with minimum element till
    // occurred till now.
    for(let i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        if (arr[i] > min)
        {
            counter++;
        }
 
        // Updating the min variable
        if (arr[i] <= min)

            min = arr[i];
        }

// Driver code
let arr = [ 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ];
