You are given two lists of different lengths of positive integers. Write an algorithm to count the number of elements that are not common to each list.InputThe first line of the input consists of an integer - listInput1_size, an integer representing the number of elements in the first list (N).The second line consists of N space-separated integers representing the first list of positive integers.The third line consists of an integer- listInput2_size, representing the number of elements in the second list (M).The last line consists of M space-separated integers representing the second list of positive integers.

Solution

Here is a Python solution for the problem:

def count_unique_elements(list1, list2):
    # Convert both lists to sets
    set1 = set(list1)
    set2 = set(list2)

    # Find the elements that are not common to each list
    unique_elements = set1.symmetric_difference(set2)

    # Count the number of unique elements
    count = len(unique_elements)

    return count

# Read the input
listInput1_size = int(input())
list1 = list(map(int, input().split()))
listInput2_size = int(input())
list2 = list(map(int, input().split()))

# Call the function and print the result
print(count_unique_elements(list1, list2))

This algorithm works by first converting the input lists to sets, which automatically removes any duplicate elements within each list. Then it uses the symmetric_difference method to find the elements that are unique to each set. The symmetric_difference method returns a new set that contains all items from both sets, but not the items present in both sets. Finally, it counts the number of unique elements by calling the len function on the resulting set.
