"""
You are given a tree(a simple connected graph with no cycles). The tree has N
nodes numbered from 1 to N and is rooted at node 1.
Find the maximum number of edges you can remove from the tree to get a forest
such that each connected component of the forest contains an even number of
nodes.
Constraints
2 <= 2 <= 100
Note: The tree input will be such that it can always be decomposed into
components containing an even number of nodes.
