The Number of Weak Characters in the Game
<p>You are playing a game that contains multiple characters, and each of the characters has <strong>two</strong> main properties: <strong>attack</strong> and <strong>defense</strong>. You are given a 2D integer array <code>properties</code> where <code>properties[i] = [attack<sub>i</sub>, defense<sub>i</sub>]</code> represents the properties of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> character in the game.</p>

<p>A character is said to be <strong>weak</strong> if any other character has <strong>both</strong> attack and defense levels <strong>strictly greater</strong> than this character&#39;s attack and defense levels. More formally, a character <code>i</code> is said to be <strong>weak</strong> if there exists another character <code>j</code> where <code>attack<sub>j</sub> &gt; attack<sub>i</sub></code> and <code>defense<sub>j</sub> &gt; defense<sub>i</sub></code>.</p>

<p>Return <em>the number of <strong>weak</strong> characters</em>.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> properties = [[5,5],[6,3],[3,6]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
<strong>Explanation:</strong> No character has strictly greater attack and defense than the other.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> properties = [[2,2],[3,3]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 1
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The first character is weak because the second character has a strictly greater attack and defense.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> properties = [[1,5],[10,4],[4,3]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 1
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The third character is weak because the second character has a strictly greater attack and defense.
</pre>
