Cities and States
의견: 0
To keep his cows intellectually stimulated, Farmer John has placed a large map
of the USA on the wall of his barn. Since the cows spend many hours in the barn
staring at this map, they start to notice several curious patterns. For
example, the cities of Flint, MI and Miami, FL share a very special
relationship: the first two letters of "Flint" give the state code ("FL") for
Miami, and the first two letters of "Miami" give the state code ("MI") for
Flint.
Let us say that two cities are a "special pair" if they satisfy this property
and come from different states. The cows are wondering how many special pairs
of cities exist. Please help them solve this amusing geographical puzzle!

The first line of input contains \(N\) (\(1 \leq N \leq 200,000\)), the number of
cities on the map.
The next \(N\) lines each contain two strings: the name of a city (a string of at
least 2 and at most 10 uppercase letters), and its two-letter state code (a
string of 2 uppercase letters). Note that the state code may be something like
ZQ, which is not an actual USA state. Multiple cities with the same name can
exist, but they will be in different states.
Please output the number of special pairs of cities.
