Problem Statement

There are N islands lining up from west to east, connected by N-1 bridges.

The i-th bridge connects the i-th island from the west and the (i+1)-th island from the west.

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.

Constraints

All values in input are integers.

2 \leq N \leq 10^5

1 \leq M \leq 10^5

1 \leq a_i < b_i \leq N

All pairs (a_i, b_i) are distinct.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N M
a_1 b_1
a_2 b_2
:
a_M b_M

Output

Print the minimum number of bridges that must be removed.
