You are given a string $S$ consisting of `a`,`b` and `c`. Find the number of strings that can be possibly obtained by repeatedly performing the following operation zero or more times, modulo $998244353$: * Choose an integer $i$ such that $1\leq i\leq |S|-1$ and the $i$\-th and $(i+1)$\-th characters in $S$ are different. Replace each of the $i$\-th and $(i+1)$\-th characters in $S$ with the character that differs from both of them (among `a`, `b` and `c`). ## Constraints * $2 \leq |S| \leq 2 × 10^5$ * $S$ consists of `a`, `b` and `c`. ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $S$ [samples]
