Series of # which are connected together forms a ship. The # can be connected to another # in any of the surrounding 8 cells to form a ship. The program must print the number of ships in the given map.

Boundary Condition(s):
1 <= N <= 100

Input Format:
The first line contains N.
The next N lines contain N characters each.

Output Format:
The first line contains the count of the ship.
