Charting Gains and Losses
Alderwood Supply charts the month-on-month change in headcount, and some months are losses. On the chart a loss simply hangs below the zero line, which is why the picture needs no special handling. The commentary beside it does need care: it opens by saying how many months went backwards. A month with no change at all did not go backwards — zero is neither a loss nor a gain, and it is not counted.
Task: Print how many months recorded a loss.
Input
The first line holds an integer n, the number of months. Each of the next n lines holds a month name and that month's change, separated by a single space. A change may be negative, and a name contains no spaces.
Output
One line holding the count of months whose change is below zero, as a plain integer.
Example:

Output:
2
