Social Network Components

You are tasked with analyzing a social network. Each user can follow multiple users, creating a directed graph. Given a list of user follow relationships, determine the number of strongly connected components (SCCs) in the network. Each user is represented by a unique ID (0-indexed). A strongly connected component is a subgraph where every user can reach every other user within that subgraph. Input format: - The first line contains an integer n, the number of users. - The next line contains an integer m, the number of follow relationships. - The subsequent m lines each contain two integers a and b, indicating that user a follows user b. Output format: - A single integer representing the number of strongly connected components. Example: Input: 5 5 0 1 1 2 2 0 1 3 3 4 Output: 2
