-How I solved it:

I solved this problem in Java, for that, I used:

->1 java.util.Scanner
->1 java.util.HashMap
->1 java.util.TreeMap
->3 java.util.HashSet
->1 java.util.LinkedList
->? java.util.StringTokenizer (or you can just simply use the Scanner method "next()").

(The structures can be declared inside loops or other structures).

Hope all this helped you :)
