A river has \(N\) checkpoints on left side and \(M\) checkpoints on the right side. \(P\) bridges are built connecting checkpoints across the river. Guards needs to be placed on checkpoints, a guard can protect all the bridges on which this checkpoint is present. There can be more than one guard to protect a single bridge.
Find the minimum number of guards required to protect all the bridges over the river.
Input Format:
- First line contains three space-separated integers \(N \ M \ P\).
- Next \(P\) lines contains two space separated integers \(u \ v\) , denoting a bridge connecting the \(u\) checkpoint on the left side to the \(v\) checkpoint on the right side.
Output Format:
Print the minimum number of guards required to protect all the bridges over the river.
Constraints:
\(1 \le N, M \le 2 \times 10^5 \\ 1 \le P \le 10^5 \\ 1 \le u \le N \\ 1 \le v \le M\)
