this will compare each number in list numbers with the list itself if there is a higher number it will say its position.. if there is no higher number it will just say -1 instead. for example list {170, 145, 160, 184, 180} starting with item 1 : 170 > 145 then will compare to the next item until finds a higher number 170>160 will compare to 4th number 170<184 then it will say 184 position which is 4 now will compare the 2nd number on the list 145 < 160 found the higher number, it will say its position which is 3 the 3rd number 160 < 184 compared to the second and its higher it will print the position of 184 which is 4 now the 4th number 184 >180 it will compare to the first item 184>170 and will compare to all items there will be no smaller number it will say -1 instead and so on
