Given is a sequence of $N$ integers $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_N$. Print the number, modulo $998244353$, of sequences of $N$ integers $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_N$ satisfying all of the following conditions: * $1 \leq X_i \leq A_i$ * $X_i \neq X_{i+1} (1 \leq i \leq N-1)$ ## Constraints * $2 \leq N \leq 5 \times 10^5$ * $1 \leq A_i \leq 10^9$ ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $\ldots$ $A_N$ [samples]
