There are $N$ blanks arranged in a row. The blanks are numbered $ 1, 2, \ldots , N $ from left to right.
Tom is filling each blank with one number in $\{0, 1, 2, 3\}$. According to his thought, the following $M$ conditions must all be satisfied. The $i_{th}$ condition is:
There are exactly $x_i$ different numbers among blanks $\in [l_i,r_i]$.
In how many ways can the blanks be filled to satisfy all the conditions? Find the answer modulo $998244353$.
