A matching is a set of edges where each node is an endpoint of at most one edge. What is the maximum number of edges in a matching?
Input
The first input line contains an integer $n$: the number of nodes. The nodes are numbered $1,2,\ldots,n$.
Then there are $n-1$ lines describing the edges. Each line contains two integers $a$ and $b$: there is an edge between nodes $a$ and $b$.
Output
Print one integer: the maximum number of pairs.
Constraints
- $1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5$
- $1 \le a,b \le n$
Input:
5
1 2
1 3
3 4
3 5
Output:
2
Explanation: One possible matching is $(1,2)$ and $(3,4)$.
