City Connections
Cities are connected through direct roads. Each city can be represented by an integer ID from 0 to n-1. Given a list of city pairs representing direct roads, determine how many distinct connected components exist in the city network, where each component is a group of cities connected either directly or indirectly.
Input:
- The first line of input contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 100), the number of cities.
- The second line contains an integer m (0 <= m <= n*(n-1)/2), the number of direct roads.
- Each of the following m lines contains two integers a and b, representing a direct road between city a and city b.
Output:
- Print the number of distinct connected components of cities.
Example:
Input:
5
3
0 1
1 2
3 4
Output:
2
