Problem Statement
There are $N$ squares numbered $1$ to $N$. Initially, all squares are painted white.
Additionally, there are $M$ balls numbered $1$ to $M$ in a box.
We repeat the procedure below until all squares are painted black.
- Pick up a ball from a box uniformly at random.
- Let $x$ be the index of the ball. Paint Squares $L_x, L_x+1, \ldots, R_x$ black.
- Return the ball to the box.
Find the expected value of the number of times the procedure is done, modulo $998244353$ (see Notes).
Notes
It can be proved that the sought expected value is always a rational number. Additionally, under the Constraints of this problem, when that value is represented as $\frac{P}{Q}$ using two coprime integers $P$ and $Q$, it can be proved that there uniquely exists an integer $R$ such that $R \times Q \equiv P\pmod{998244353}$ and $0 \leq R \lt 998244353$. You should find this $R$.
Constraints
- $1 \leq N,M \leq 400$
- $1 \leq L_i \leq R_i \leq N$
- For every square $i$, there is an integer $j$ such that $L_j \leq i \leq R_j$.
- All values in input are integers.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
Output
Print the sought expected value modulo $998244353$.

499122180
The sought expected value is $\frac{7}{2}$.
We have $499122180 \times 2 \equiv 7\pmod{998244353}$, so $499122180$ should be printed.
