Counting the Green Days
easyPythonTime SeriesLoops
Halcyon's morning note opens with a count of green days: days on which the share closed above the day before. A day that closes exactly level is not green — the desk reports unchanged days separately — so this count is of days that genuinely gained ground.
Task: Print how many days closed higher than the day before them.
Input
The first line holds an integer n, always at least 2. Each of the next n lines holds one day's closing price.
Output
One line: a whole number, somewhere between 0 and n - 1. The opening day has nothing before it and can never be green. Print 0 for a share that never gained.
Example:
Input:
4
3
4
2
5
Output:
2
