Efficient Conference Scheduling

You are organizing a conference with multiple sessions that each have a specific start and end time. Due to constraints, you can only attend non-overlapping sessions. Your goal is to select the maximum number of sessions you can attend. Write a program that reads the list of sessions and outputs the maximum number of non-overlapping sessions you can attend. Input format: - The first line contains an integer S (1 ≤ S ≤ 1000), the number of sessions. - The next S lines each contain two integers T1 (1 ≤ T1 ≤ 1000) and T2 (T1 < T2 ≤ 2000), representing the start and end time of each session. Output format: - A single integer representing the maximum number of non-overlapping sessions. Example: Input: 5 1 3 2 5 4 6 7 8 5 8 Output: 3
