Ninja has started a social networking site, Ninjas Space. There are a total of ‘N’ users and ‘M’ different types of languages on the social network in which users can communicate with each other if they know a common language. There are a total of ‘L’ friendships between users on the social network.

You have given a 2-dimensional array ‘LANGUAGES’ with ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns, where LANGUAGES[i][j] is equal to 1 if the user 'i+1' knows the language 'j+1'. Otherwise, LANGUAGES[i][j] is equal to 0. The friendships are given in a 2-dimensional array ‘FRIENDS’ of size ‘L’, in which FRIENDS[i] contains two users who are friends with each other on the social network. Ninja has decided to teach the same language to some users so all friends can communicate with each other. Your task is to find the minimum number of users Ninja needs to teach.

For example:

'LANGUAGES' = [[1,0,1],[0,0,1],[0,1,0]] and 'FRIENDS' =[[1,3],[2,3]], Ninja can teach the third language to the third user so all friends can communicate with each other. Hence, the answer is 1 in this case.
