Connect Cities SOLUTION
Problem Statement
There are N cities numbered 1 through N, and M bidirectional roads numbered 1 through M. Road i connects City Ai and City Bi
Snuke can perform the following operation zero or more time
Choose two distinct cities that are not directly connected by a road, and build a new road between the two cities.
After he finishes the operations, it must be possible to travel from any city to any other cities by following roads (possibly multiple times).
What is the minimum number of roads he must build to achieve the goal?

Initially, there are three cities, and there is a road between City
1
and City
2
.
Snuke can achieve the goal by building one new road, for example, between City
1
and City
3
. After that,
We can travel between
1
and
2
directly.
