Problem C: A Walk Through the Forest
Jimmy experiences a lot of stress at work these days, especially since
his accident made working difficult. To relax after a hard day, he
likes to walk home. To make things even nicer, his office is on one
side of a forest, and his house is on the other. A nice walk through
the forest, seeing the birds and chipmunks is quite enjoyable.
The forest is beautiful, and Jimmy wants to take a different route
everyday. He also wants to get home before dark, so he always takes a
path to make progress towards his house. He considers taking a
path from A to B to be progress if there exists
a route from B to his home that is shorter than
any possible route from A.
Calculate how many different routes through the forest
Jimmy might take.
Input
Input contains several test cases followed by a line containing 0.
Jimmy has numbered each intersection or joining of paths starting with 1.
His office is numbered 1, and his house is numbered 2. The
first line of each test case gives the number of intersections N,
1 < N ≤ 1000, and the number of paths M.
The following M lines each contain
a pair of intersections a b and an integer
distance 1 ≤ d ≤ 1000000 indicating a path of length d
between intersection a and a different intersection b.
Jimmy may walk a path any direction he chooses.
There is at most one path between any pair of intersections.
Output
For each test case, output a single integer indicating the number of different routes
through the forest. You may assume that this number does not
exceed 2147483647.
