Total Tournament Matches
In a tournament, every player plays against every other player exactly once. Given the number of players \(N\), you are required to compute the total number of matches that will be played. The calculation is based on the combinatorial formula for choosing 2 players out of \(N\):
\( \frac{N \times (N-1)}{2} \)
Use this formula to determine the result.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single line containing one integer (N) ((2 \leq N \leq 10^9)) which denotes the number of players.
