You have $N$ socks. The color of the $i$\-th sock is $A_i$. You want to perform the following operation as many times as possible. How many times can it be performed at most? * Choose two same-colored socks that are not paired yet, and pair them. ## Constraints * $1\leq N \leq 5\times 10^5$ * $1\leq A_i \leq 10^9$ * All values in the input are integers. ## Input The input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $\dots$ $A_N$ [samples]

Input #1

4 1 7 4 1 4
Output #1
2

You can do the operation twice as follows.

*   Choose two socks with the color $1$ and pair them.
*   Choose two socks with the color $4$ and pair them.

Then, you will be left with one sock with the color $4$ and another with the color $7$, so you can no longer do the operation. There is no way to do the operation three or more times, so you should print $2$.
