The Lone Sentinel

In a network topology represented by a BST, a 'Sentinel' is a node that has exactly one child. These nodes are critical because they represent single points of failure. Given an insertion sequence for a BST, count the total number of Sentinel nodes. Input Format: A single line of space-separated integers. Output Format: An integer representing the count of nodes with exactly one child. Example: Input: 10 5 15 3 12 Output: 2 (Node 5 has one child 3, and node 15 has one child 12.)
