One day, disputes took place between some islands, and there were $M$ requests from the inhabitants of the islands:
Request $i$: A dispute took place between the $a_i$-th island from the west and the $b_i$-th island from the west. Please make traveling between these islands with bridges impossible.
You decided to remove some bridges to meet all these $M$ requests.
Find the minimum number of bridges that must be removed.
