Can We Split Into Two Teams?

Decide whether people can be assigned to two teams so that each listed pair is on opposite teams.

Problem

Decide whether people can be assigned to two teams so that each listed pair is on opposite teams. Every person receives exactly one team; either team may be empty. People without a listed pair can go on either team. Check every connected group of constraints.

Implement split_into_two_teams(people, pairs).

Input

people: The number of people, numbered from 1.

pairs: Rows [first_person, second_person] that must be separated.

Output

Return true if any valid assignment exists, otherwise false. Do not return the assignment.

Constraints

1 ≤ people ≤ 100,000. 0…200,000 pairs of distinct person IDs in 1…people. Duplicate pairs are allowed and repeat the same constraint.

Examples

Example 1
Input:
pairs = [
    [1, 2],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 1]
]
people = 3

Expected output:
expected = False
Input:
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> pairs = {
    {1, 2},
    {2, 3},
    {3, 1}
};
long long people = 3;

Expected output:
bool expected = false;
Input:
long[][] pairs = new long[][] {
    new long[] {1, 2},
    new long[] {2, 3},
    new long[] {3, 1}
};
long people = 3;

Expected output:
bool expected = false;

Explanation

If 1 is on team A, 2 must be on B, and 3 must be on A. The last pair then violates the rule.

Example 2
Input:
pairs = [
    [1, 2],
    [2, 3]
]
people = 4

Expected output:
expected = True
Input:
std::vector<std::vector<long long>> pairs = {
    {1, 2},
    {2, 3}
};
long long people = 4;

Expected output:
bool expected = true;
Input:
long[][] pairs = new long[][] {
    new long[] {1, 2},
    new long[] {2, 3}
};
long people = 4;

Expected output:
bool expected = true;

Explanation

Put 1 and 3 on team A and 2 on team B. Person 4 can join either team.
