You are an expert software engineer working on a coding task.
Read the following function signature and docstring, fully implement the function described and pass all the tests. **DO NOT MODIFY THE TESTS.**
The function signature and docstrings are provided in func.py. The unit tests are provided in test.py. Modify func.py to implement the function rather than submit it in text.
CURRENT SETUP:
- func.py: Contains the function signature you need to implement
- test.py: Contains the test cases that your implementation must pass
TOOLS AVAILABLE:
- bash: Execute shell commands (e.g., run tests with `python test.py`)
- python: Execute Python code for debugging
- text_editor: Edit files
- submit: Mark the task as complete. You **SHOULD NOT** submit the code with the submit tool, but rather simply **MODIFY func.py**. Call submit tool with "DONE" is perfectly fine.
WORKFLOW:
1. First, examine func.py to understand the function signature
2. Look at test.py to understand what the function should do
3. Implement the function **in func.py**
4. Run `python test.py` to check if your implementation passes
5. If tests fail, analyze the error and iterate
You can submit up to 3 times and will receive feedback after each attempt.
Remember:
- Focus on implementing the function correctly in func.py
- The tests in test.py should not be modified
- Run `python test.py` to validate your solution

[reasoning]
This is a classic AtCoder problem (ABC 360 E? Actually "Random Swaps of Balls" - ABC 360 E). The expected position after K swaps.
Known solution: E[pos after k+1] = ... Actually known result: the black ball stays at position 1 with probability (1-2/N)^k per swap... Let me recall ABC360E "Random Swaps of Balls".
The known solution: The expected position after K operations. Each operation picks a,b uniform in [1,N], swaps if a≠b. Probability that the black ball moves: it moves if a or b equals its position and a≠b. If black at position i, probability a==i and b≠i: 2*(1/N)*((N-1)/N) = 2(N-1)/N². If it moves, the new position is uniform among the other N-1 positions.
Also, the white balls... but expected position only depends on the black ball's position. Wait, but the expected position — the black ball's position process: with prob p = 2(N-1)/N² it moves to a uniformly random position among N-1 others; otherwise stays.
E[X_{k+1}] = (1-p) E[X_k] + p * E[uniform over others]. E[uniform over others] given at position i = (S - i)/(N-1) where S = N(N+1)/2. But E[X_k] alone isn't enough since E[(S - X)/(N-1)] = (S - E[X])/(N-1). Yes it is linear! So:
E_{k+1} = (1-p) E_k + p (S - E_k)/(N-1).
Let c = p = 2(N-1)/N². Then E_{k+1} = E_k (1 - c - c/(N-1)) + c S/(N-1) = E_k (1 - 2/N²·... let's compute: 1 - c(1 + 1/(N-1)) = 1 - 2(N-1)/N² · N/(N-1) = 1 - 2/N.
And constant term: c S/(N-1) = 2(N-1)/N² · S/(N-1) = 2S/N² = (N+1)/N.
So E_{k+1} = (1 - 2/N) E_k + (N+1)/N. With E_0 = 1.
Steady state: E* = (N+1)/N / (2/N) = (N+1)/2. Good.
E_k = E* + (1 - 2/N)^k (1 - E*) = (N+1)/2 - (N-1)/2 · (1 - 2/N)^k.
Check N=2, K=1: (3)/2 - (1/2)(0)^1 = 3/2. 3/2 mod 998244353 = 3 * inv(2) = 3*499122177 = 1497366531 mod p = 1497366531 - 998244353 = 499122178. ✓
Check N=3, K=2: E = 2 - 1·(1/3)^2 = 2 - 1/9 = 17/9. 17 * inv(9) mod p. inv(9) = ? pow(17, ...) compute later. Trust.
Edge N=1: E = 1. Formula: (N+1)/2 = 1, (N-1)/2 = 0. Also (1-2/N) with N=1 mod p: 1-2*inv(1) = -1, fine, times 0 = 0. But careful: p = 2(N-1)/N² with N=1 gives 0, fine.
Implement mod arithmetic: N mod p, K up to 1e5, pow(1-2N^{-1}, K, p).
Careful with N mod p possibly: N ≤ 998244352 < p, so N nonzero mod p.
Compute: inv2 = pow(2, p-2, p). term1 = (N+1)*inv2 % p. base = (1 - 2*inv(N)) % p. term2 = (N-1)*inv2 % p * pow(base, K, p) % p. result = (term1 - term2) % p.
N=1: base = 1-2 = -1 → p-1; pow fine; term2 = 0. Good.
This is the classic "random swaps" problem. Let me verify the math quickly, then implement.

All tests pass.
**Solution explanation:**
The black ball's position evolves as a Markov chain. In one operation, the black ball at position `i` moves only if `a = i` and `b ≠ i` (or vice versa), which happens with probability `p = 2(N-1)/N²`. When it moves, it lands uniformly on one of the other `N-1` positions.
Since the expected position of a uniformly random other position is `(S − E[X])/N−1` where `S = N(N+1)/2` (by linearity), the expectation satisfies a simple linear recurrence:
```
E_{k+1} = (1 − 2/N)·E_k + (N+1)/N
```
Solving with `E_0 = 1` and fixed point `(N+1)/2`:
```
E_K = (N+1)/2 − (N−1)/2 · (1 − 2/N)^K
```
This is computed in O(log K) using modular inverse and fast exponentiation modulo 998244353.
