Maximum Number of Non-overlapping Intervals

A team is working with a set of project intervals. Your goal is to select the maximum number of non-overlapping intervals that can be included in the schedule. Each interval is defined by a start and end time. You want to determine how many non-overlapping intervals can be selected. The program should read from standard input, first with an integer n representing the number of intervals. The next n lines contain two integers for each interval (start, end). Your program should print the maximum number of non-overlapping intervals. Input Format: - An integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10000) - n lines, each containing two integers (start, end) (0 ≤ start < end ≤ 10^9) Output Format: - An integer representing the maximum number of non-overlapping intervals. Example: Input: 5 1 3 2 4 3 5 4 6 7 8 Output: 4
