题目描述

Your task is to calculate the number of arrays such that:

  • each array contains nn elements;
  • each element is an integer from 11 to mm ;
  • for each array, there is exactly one pair of equal elements;
  • for each array aa , there exists an index ii such that the array is strictly ascending before the ii -th element and strictly descending after it (formally, it means that aj<aj+1a_j < a_{j + 1} , if j<ij < i , and aj>aj+1a_j > a_{j + 1} , if jij \ge i ).

输入格式

The first line contains two integers nn and mm ( 2nm21052 \le n \le m \le 2 \cdot 10^5 ).

输出格式

Print one integer — the number of arrays that meet all of the aforementioned conditions, taken modulo 998244353998244353 .
