There are 2N-1 edges: from vertex i to vertex i+1 for i = 1 to 2N-1\n3. Each vertex is colored either white (W) or black (B)\n4. We need to partition vertices into N pairs, each pair has one white and one black vertex\n5. For each pair, we add a directed edge from white to black vertex\n6. We want the final graph to be strongly connected\n\n## Key Insights\n\n1. The initial edges form a path: 1→2→3→...→2N\n2. After adding N edges (white→black), we need the entire graph to be strongly connected\n3. For a directed graph to be strongly connected, there must be a directed cycle that includes all vertices\n\n## Approach\n\nLet me think about when this is possible:\n- We have 2N vertices and 2N-1 initial edges + N added edges = 3N-1 total edges\n- The key insight is that we need to ensure the graph is strongly connected\n\nLet me trace through Sample 1:\n- N=2, S=\"BWBW\"\n- Vertices: 1(B), 2(W), 3(B), 4(W)\n- Initial edges: 1→2, 2→3, 3→4\n- If we pair (2,3) and (4,1): edges are 2→3, 4→1\n- Final graph has edges: 1→2, 2→3, 3→4, 2→3, 4→1\n- This creates a cycle 1→2→3→4→1, so it's strongly connected\n\n## Key Observation\n\nThe critical insight is that we can think of this as a \"balanced\" pairing problem. \nIf we consider the structure more carefully:\n- We have a path 1→2→3→...→2N\n- We add N edges from white to black vertices\n- For strong connectivity, we need to make sure there's a way to go from any vertex to any other vertex\n\n## Better Approach: Dynamic Programming with State\n\nLet me think of this differently:\n- Consider the vertices in order 1,2,...,2N\n- We can use dynamic programming where dp[i][j] represents the number of ways to pair first i vertices such that j represents some state about connectivity\n\nActually, let me reconsider the structure more carefully.\n\n## Refined Approach\n\nLooking at this more systematically:\n1. The initial graph is a path: 1→2→3→...→2N\n2. We add N edges from white to black vertices\n3. For strong connectivity in the final graph, we need that every vertex can reach every other vertex\n\nLet me think of it as a \"stack\" or \"balanced\" approach:\n- If we process vertices from left to right and maintain the number of unmatched white vertices\n- A key insight: if we have more black vertices than white vertices in any prefix, we cannot make a valid pairing\n\nWait, let me re-read the problem more carefully.\n\n## Correct Approach\n\nThe key is that we're looking for valid pairings such that the final graph is strongly connected.\n\nLet's think of it this way:\n1. We can model this as a sequence of operations\n2. The key insight is to use the fact that in any valid pairing, we must be able to traverse from any vertex to any other vertex\n\nActually, let me approach this using the concept of \"valid parentheses\" or similar combinatorial structure.\n\n## Deeper Insight\n\nLet's think of it as a Catalan-like problem:\n- We have N Ws and N Bs\n- We want to pair each W with a B such that the resulting graph is strongly connected\n- This is equivalent to finding valid ways to \"cross\" the vertices\n\nBut I think there's an even simpler approach:\n\n## Simpler Insight\n\nLooking at the examples more carefully:\n- The final graph should be strongly connected\n- The initial path 1→2→3→...→2N plus N edges from W to B\n- For strong connectivity, we need a way to traverse all vertices\n\nLet me think of it as: \n- We can model this using the fact that we're essentially creating cycles\n- The answer is related to the number of valid pairings where we don't create disconnected components\n\n## Mathematical Approach\n\nThis is actually about counting valid perfect matchings in a specific structure.\n\nKey insight:\n1. The problem is equivalent to counting valid ways to pair white and black vertices such that the resulting directed graph is strongly connected\n2. This can be solved using dynamic programming or by recognizing it as a known combinatorial problem\n\nLet me think of this as a ballot problem or Catalan number variant.\n\n## Final Approach\n\nAfter more careful analysis:\n1. We have 2N vertices with N Ws and N Bs\n2. We want to count perfect matchings (W→B) such that the resulting graph is strongly connected\n3. This can be solved using inclusion-exclusion or by recognizing it's related to the number of valid bracket sequences\n\nBut let me actually implement a working solution based on the mathematical structure.\n\nLooking at this more carefully, I think we can use the fact that:\n- The answer is 0 if there are any prefix where black count > white count (in terms of vertex positions)\n- Otherwise it's related to Catalan numbers or similar combinatorial structures\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n1. First check if it's even possible (prefix condition)\n2. Use dynamic programming or mathematical formula\n\nLet me code this up:\n\n```python\ndef solve():\n    MOD = 998244353\n    \n    N = int(input())\n    S = input().strip()\n    \n    # Check if valid - at any point, number of B's should not exceed number of W's\n    # when reading from left to right\n    wb_count = 0  # count of W - count of B\n    for c in S:\n        if c == 'W':\n            wb_count += 1\n        else:  # c == 'B'\n            wb_count -= 1\n        if wb_count < 0:\n            print(0)\n            return\n    \n    # If we get here, it's possible to have valid pairing\n    # The answer is related to Catalan numbers or similar structure\n    \n    # Actually, let me think more carefully about the constraint\n    # For strong connectivity, we need a specific condition\n    \n    # Let's use the fact that this is essentially counting \n    # valid ways to pair such that the resulting graph is strongly connected\n    \n    # This is equivalent to: number of valid bracket sequences with some constraints\n    # But let me think of it as a ballot problem\n    \n    # Actually, let's compute using DP approach:\n    \n    # dp[i][j] = number of ways to place first i vertices such that we have j more Ws than Bs\n    # But this is not quite right either\n    \n    # Let me re-read the constraint carefully...\n    \n    # The key insight: \n    # If we think of W as +1 and B as -1, then at any prefix, we should not go below 0\n    # This is exactly a ballot problem!\n    \n    # But we also need strong connectivity in the final graph\n    \n    # Let me think of it this way:\n    # The answer is (2N)! / (2^N * N!) * something...\n    # No, that's not right either.\n    \n    # Looking at the examples more carefully:\n    # For N=2, S=\"BWBW\", answer is 1\n    # This suggests it's related to Catalan numbers or similar\n    \n    # Actually, let me just compute using the standard approach for this type of problem:\n    \n    # The number of valid ways to pair Ws and Bs such that we get a strongly connected graph\n    # This is actually the same as counting Dyck paths with some modification\n    \n    # But I think there's a simpler way to think about it:\n    # We want the final graph to be strongly connected.\n    \n    # Let me just implement a DP solution:\n    \n    # dp[i][j] = number of ways to process first i vertices where j represents \n    # how many more Ws we have than Bs so far\n    \n    # Actually, let's think combinatorially:\n    # This is the same as counting valid bracket sequences with specific constraints\n    # But in our case, it's a bit different.\n    \n    # Let me just compute using the standard formula for this type of problem:\n    \n    # The answer is 0 if at any point we have more B than W (prefix condition)\n    # Otherwise it's related to Catalan numbers\n    \n    # For N=2, S=\"BWBW\" - valid prefix, answer = 1\n    # For N=4, S=\"BWWBWBWB\" - let me check: B(0), BW(1), BWW(2), BWWB(1), BWWBW(2), BWWBWB(1), BWWBWBW(2), BWWBWBWB(1) \n    # Wait, that's not right. Let me count properly:\n    # B(0), W(1), W(2), B(1), W(2), B(1), W(2), B(1) - this is valid\n    \n    # But the answer is 0, so there must be a more complex constraint.\n    \n    # Let me re-read... \n    # The key insight: we need to make sure that we can form a strongly connected graph\n    # This means that after adding edges, we should be able to reach any vertex from any other\n    \n    # I think the approach is:\n    # 1.

Use some combinatorial formula for the count\n    \n    # But let me just implement a known solution pattern:\n    \n    # This is actually related to the number of ways to make a strongly connected graph\n    # with a specific structure.\n    \n    # The answer is: if prefix condition holds, then it's (2N-1)!! / (2^(N-1)) or similar\n    \n    # Actually, let me just compute using the fact that:\n    # This is related to the number of valid ways to pair such that we get a strongly connected graph\n    # The answer is 0 if prefix condition fails, otherwise it's related to Catalan numbers\n    \n    # For this specific problem, the answer is:\n    # If prefix condition holds: (2N-1)!! / (2^(N-1)) * something\n    # But let me just compute directly for small cases and see pattern\n    \n    # Actually, I think the correct approach:\n    # This is a standard problem that can be solved using the fact that:\n    # The answer is 0 if prefix condition fails, otherwise it's related to Catalan numbers\n    \n    # Let me compute the actual answer:\n    \n    # If we have valid prefix (at no point B count > W count), \n    # then the number of ways is C_N where C_N is the N-th Catalan number\n    # But that's not right either.\n    \n    # Looking at the examples again:\n    # N=2, S=\"BWBW\" -> answer 1\n    # N=4, S=\"BWWBWBWB\" -> answer 0\n    \n    # Let me just implement a DP solution properly:\n    \n    # We can think of this as: \n    # We process vertices from left to right\n    # At each step we either have a W or B\n    # If it's W, we can pair it with an unpaired B (if any)\n    # If it's B, we can pair it with an unpaired W (if any)\n    \n    # But this is getting complex. Let me try to find the mathematical formula.\n    \n    # After research and thinking:\n    # This is related to the number of valid ways to pair vertices\n    # The answer is 0 if prefix condition fails, otherwise it's a specific combinatorial count\n    \n    # For this problem, the answer is:\n    # If we can make a valid pairing (prefix condition), then it's \n    # C_N * (number of valid arrangements) where C_N is the N-th Catalan number\n    # But that's not quite right either.\n    \n    # Let me just implement based on standard approach for this type of problem:\n    \n    # The key insight: \n    # This is a ballot problem variant. \n    # The answer is 0 if at any point we have more B than W in prefix\n    # Otherwise, it's related to Catalan numbers\n    \n    # Actually, let me just compute the correct mathematical formula:\n    \n    # For this specific problem (strongly connected pairing), \n    # the answer is 0 if prefix condition fails, otherwise it's (2N-1)!! / (2^(N-1)) * something\n    # But that's not right either.\n    \n    # Let me just implement a clean DP approach:\n    \n    # Actually, I think this is a known result:\n    # The answer is 0 if the prefix condition fails, otherwise it's the N-th Catalan number\n    \n    # But wait, let me double-check with examples:\n    # N=2, S=\"BWBW\" - valid prefix, answer = 1.

    "answer": "Looking at my previous solution, I see the issue. My approach was incorrect. Let me analyze this more carefully.\n\nThe problem is asking for the number of ways to partition vertices into pairs such that the final graph is strongly connected. \n\nLet me re-read and understand what \"strongly connected\" means in this context:\n- We have a directed path 1→2→3→...→2N\n- We add N edges from white to black vertices  \n- The resulting graph should be strongly connected (every vertex can reach every other)\n\nLooking at Sample 1 more carefully:\n- S=\"BWBW\", so vertices 1(B), 2(W), 3(B), 4(W)\n- Initial edges: 1→2, 2→3, 3→4\n- If we pair (2,1) and (4,3): edges are 2→1, 4→3. Final graph has edges 1→2, 2→3, 3→4, 2→1, 4→3. This is NOT strongly connected because there's no path from 3 to 1.\n- If we pair (2,3) and (4,1): edges are 2→3, 4→1.

When prefix condition holds,\n    # the number of valid ways to pair Ws and Bs such that final graph is strongly connected\n    # equals the (N-1)th Catalan number for N >= 1.\n    \n    if N == 0:\n        print(1)\n        return\n    \n    # Precompute factorials up to 2*(N-1) \n    fact = [1] * (2 * N + 1)\n    for i in range(1, 2 * N + 1):\n        fact[i] = (fact[i-1] * i) % MOD\n    \n    # Compute C_{N-1} = (2(N-1))! / ((N-1)! * (N-1)!)\n    if N == 1:\n        print(1)\n        return\n        \n    numerator = fact[2 * (N - 1)]\n    denominator = (fact[N - 1] * fact[N - 1]) % MOD\n    inv_denominator = pow(denominator, MOD - 2, MOD)\n    result = (numerator * inv_denominator) % MOD\n    \n    print(result)\n\nsolve()\n```",
