+/***************************************************************************************************** 
+ *
+ * You are given an array items, where each items[i] = [typei, colori, namei] describes the type, 
+ * color, and name of the ith item. You are also given a rule represented by two strings, ruleKey and 
+ * ruleValue.
+ * 
+ * The ith item is said to match the rule if one of the following is true:
+ * 
+ * 	ruleKey == "type" and ruleValue == typei.
+ * 	ruleKey == "color" and ruleValue == colori.
+ * 	ruleKey == "name" and ruleValue == namei.
+ * 
+ * Return the number of items that match the given rule.
+ * 
+ * Example 1:
+ * 
+ * Input: items = [["phone","blue","pixel"],["computer","silver","lenovo"],["phone","gold","iphone"]], 
+ * ruleKey = "color", ruleValue = "silver"
+ * Output: 1
+ * Explanation: There is only one item matching the given rule, which is 
+ * ["computer","silver","lenovo"].
+ * 
+ * Example 2:
+ * 
+ * Input: items = [["phone","blue","pixel"],["computer","silver","phone"],["phone","gold","iphone"]], 
+ * ruleKey = "type", ruleValue = "phone"
+ * Output: 2
+ * Explanation: There are only two items matching the given rule, which are ["phone","blue","pixel"] 
+ * and ["phone","gold","iphone"]. Note that the item ["computer","silver","phone"] does not match.
+ * 
+ * Constraints:
+ * 
+ * 	1 <= items.length <= 104
+ * 	1 <= typei.length, colori.length, namei.length, ruleValue.length <= 10
+ * 	ruleKey is equal to either "type", "color", or "name".
+ * 	All strings consist only of lowercase letters.
