Even Tree

"""
You are given a tree(a simple connected graph with no cycles). The tree has N
nodes numbered from 1 to N and is rooted at node 1.

Find the maximum number of edges you can remove from the tree to get a forest
such that each connected component of the forest contains an even number of
nodes.

Constraints
2 <= 2 <= 100

Note: The tree input will be such that it can always be decomposed into
components containing an even number of nodes.

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
