By symmetry, after K operations, probability black ball is at any position other than its current... Actually known formula:\n\nExpected value = N - (N-1) * something? Let me recall.\n\nThe probability that the black ball has never been swapped: the probability that a given swap involves the black ball position: choose a, b uniformly from 1..N; probability that a or b equals black's position: the number of pairs (a,b) with a≠b and a==p or b==p is 2(N-1), out of N(N-1) total ordered pairs. So prob swap involves black = 2/N per operation.\n\nThe probability black ball is never swapped during K ops: (1 - 2/N)^K. In that case it stays at position 1. If it has been swapped at least once, its position becomes uniform over 1..N (by symmetry: once moved, it's at uniform random position... actually after a swap involving it, it goes to a uniform random position, and subsequent swaps of it keep uniformity).\n\nExpected = (1-2/N)^K * 1 + (1 - (1-2/N)^K) * (N+1)/2.\n\nLet me verify with (2,1): (1-2/2)^1 = 0, so expected = 3/2 → 3 * inv(2) = 3*499122177 mod p = 499122178? 3*499122177 = 1497366531 mod 998244353 = 1497366531 - 998244353 = 499122178. ✓\n\n(3,2): (1-2/3)^2 = (1/3)^2 = 1/9.

This is AtCoder ABC 360 E "Random Swaps of Balls".
Known solution: The black ball starts at position 1. Expected position after K swaps. Let E be expected position. By symmetry, after K operations, probability black ball is at any position other than its current... Actually known formula:
Expected value = N - (N-1) * something? Let me recall.
The probability that the black ball has never been swapped: the probability that a given swap involves the black ball position: choose a, b uniformly from 1..N; probability that a or b equals black's position: the number of pairs (a,b) with a≠b and a==p or b==p is 2(N-1), out of N(N-1) total ordered pairs. So prob swap involves black = 2/N per operation.
The probability black ball is never swapped during K ops: (1 - 2/N)^K. In that case it stays at position 1. If it has been swapped at least once, its position becomes uniform over 1..N (by symmetry: once moved, it's at uniform random position... actually after a swap involving it, it goes to a uniform random position, and subsequent swaps of it keep uniformity).
Expected = (1-2/N)^K * 1 + (1 - (1-2/N)^K) * (N+1)/2.
Let me verify with (2,1): (1-2/2)^1 = 0, so expected = 3/2 → 3 * inv(2) = 3*499122177 mod p = 499122178? 3*499122177 = 1497366531 mod 998244353 = 1497366531 - 998244353 = 499122178. ✓
(3,2): (1-2/3)^2 = (1/3)^2 = 1/9. E = 1/9 + 8/9*2 = 1/9 + 16/9 = 17/9. 17 * inv(9) mod p: inv(9) = pow(9, p-2). Let me trust; check computationally.
