$N$ cards, numbered $1$ through $N$, are arranged in a line. For each $i\ (1\leq i < N)$, card $i$ and card $(i+1)$ are adjacent to each other. Card $i$ has $A_i$ written on its front, and $B_i$ written on its back. Initially, all cards are face up. Consider flipping zero or more cards chosen from the $N$ cards. Among the $2^N$ ways to choose the cards to flip, find the number, modulo $998244353$, of such ways that: * when the chosen cards are flipped, for every pair of adjacent cards, the integers written on their face-up sides are different. ## Constraints * $1\leq N \leq 2\times 10^5$ * $1\leq A_i,B_i \leq 10^9$ * All values in the input are integers. ## Input The input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $A_1$ $B_1$ $A_2$ $B_2$ $\vdots$ $A_N$ $B_N$ [samples]

Let $S$ be the set of card numbers to flip.
For example, when $S={2,3}$ is chosen, the integers written on their visible sides are $1,2$, and $4$, from card $1$ to card $3$, so it satisfies the condition.
On the other hand, when $S={3}$ is chosen, the integers written on their visible sides are $1,4$, and $4$, from card $1$ to card $3$, where the integers on card $2$ and card $3$ are the same, violating the condition.
Four $S$ satisfy the conditions: ${},{1},{2}$, and ${2,3}$.
