Input Format:
- The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100).
- The second line contains an integer m (0 ≤ m ≤ 10^4) representing the number of connections.
- The following m lines each contain two integers a and b (0 ≤ a, b < n) representing a connection between book a and book b.
Output Format:
- Print the number of distinct groups of related books.
