On his free time, Chouti likes doing some housework. He has got one new task, paint some bricks in the yard.
There are nn bricks lined in a row on the ground. Chouti has got mm paint buckets of different colors at hand, so he painted each brick in one of those mm colors.
Having finished painting all bricks, Chouti was satisfied. He stood back and decided to find something fun with these bricks. After some counting, he found there are kk bricks with a color different from the color of the brick on its left (the first brick is not counted, for sure).
So as usual, he needs your help in counting how many ways could he paint the bricks. Two ways of painting bricks are different if there is at least one brick painted in different colors in these two ways. Because the answer might be quite big, you only need to output the number of ways modulo 998244353998244353.
Input
The first and only line contains three integers nn, mm and kk (1≤n,m≤2000,0≤k≤n−11≤n,m≤2000,0≤k≤n−1) — the number of bricks, the number of colors, and the number of bricks, such that its color differs from the color of brick to the left of it.
Output
Print one integer — the number of ways to color bricks modulo 998244353998244353.

Note
In the first example, since k=0k=0, the color of every brick should be the same, so there will be exactly m=3m=3 ways to color the bricks.
In the second example, suppose the two colors in the buckets are yellow and lime, the following image shows all 44 possible colorings.
题意:给你n个砖头和m中颜料和一个k,k是代表着恰好有k个砖头与他本身左边的颜色不同。
做法:
#include
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;
const ll mod=998244353 ;
ll powmod(ll a,ll b)
{
ll res=1;
for(;b;b>>=1){if(b&1) res=res*a%mod;a=a*a%mod;}
return res%mod;
}
ll f(ll x)
{
ll res=1;
for(ll i=1;i<=x;i++) res=res*i%mod;
return res%mod;
}
ll inv(ll v)
{
return powmod(v,mod-2);
}
ll getC(ll a,ll b)
{
return f(a)*inv(f(a-b)*f(b)%mod)%mod;
}
int main()
{
ll n,m,k;
cin>>n>>m>>k;
printf("%lld\n",((getC(n-1,k)*m%mod)*powmod(m-1,k))%mod);
}
