Problem Statement
We have N balls arranged in a row, numbered 1 to N from left to right.
Ball i has an integer A_i written on it.
You can do the following operation any number of times.
- Choose three consecutive balls $x, y, z (1 \leq x < y < z \leq N)$.
Here, $A_x \neq A_y$ and $A_y \neq A_z$ must hold.
Then, eat Ball y.
After this operation, Balls x and z are considered adjacent.
Find the number of possible sets of balls remaining in the end, modulo 998244353.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
N
$A_1 A_2 \cdots A_N$
Output
Print the answer.
Constraints
- $2 \leq N \leq 200000$
- $1 \leq A_i \leq N$
- All values in input are integers.
