Pak Chanek has a mirror in the shape of a circle. There are N lamps on the circumference
numbered from 1 to N in clockwise order. The length of the arc from lamp i to lamp i + 1 is → Virtual participation 
Di for 1 ≤ i ≤ N − 1 . Meanwhile, the length of the arc between lamp N and lamp 1 is
DN .
→ Clone Contest to Mashup 
Pak Chanek wants to colour the lamps with M different colours. Each lamp can be coloured
with one of the M colours. However, there cannot be three different lamps such that the
colours of the three lamps are the same and the triangle made by considering the three lamps → Submit?
as vertices is a right triangle (triangle with one of its angles being exactly 90 degrees).

Before colouring the lamps, Pak Chanek wants to know the number of distinct colouring
configurations he can make. Count the number of distinct possible lamp colouring

Input
5
The first line contains two integers N and M (1 ≤ N ≤ 3 ⋅ 10 , 2 ≤ M ≤ 3 ⋅ 105 ) — the
number of lamps in the mirror and the number of different colours used.

The second line contains N integers D1 , D2 , … , DN (1 ≤ Di ≤ 109 ) — the lengths of


the arcs between the lamps in the mirror.

Output
An integer representing the number of possible lamp colouring configurations, modulo
998 244 353 .
