Problem Understanding

We are given multiple test cases. Each test case describes three groups of vertices, with sizes $a$, $b$, and $c$. We imagine all vertices are initially isolated, and we are allowed to add undirected edges between any pairs of distinct vertices. The goal is to count how many different graphs can be formed such that the vertices can be partitioned into three groups $A$, $B$, and $C$ of the given sizes, and this partition satisfies a structural constraint based on distances inside each group.

The constraint is that within each of the three groups, any two vertices belonging to the same group must have graph distance at least three. This means two vertices in the same group are not allowed to be directly connected, and they are also not allowed to share a common neighbor. So inside each group, vertices must be “far apart” in the sense that even a path of length two between them is forbidden.

The output for each test case is the number of graphs on $a+b+c$ labeled vertices that admit such a partition into the three fixed-sized groups, taken modulo 998244353.

The constraints are very large: up to 3000 test cases and a total of up to $1.5 \times 10^7$ vertices across all tests. This immediately rules out anything quadratic in a single test case. Even linear per test case with heavy constants would be borderline, so the solution must reduce each test case to a constant amount of work after precomputing powers or using fast exponentiation.

A subtle difficulty in this type of problem is that the condition is not just “no edges inside a group”. It also forbids length-two paths inside a group. A naive interpretation that only forbids direct edges would lead to counting all 3-colorings of edges between parts independently, which overcounts invalid configurations where two vertices in the same group share a neighbor in another group.

A small example shows the issue. If $a=2$, $b=1$, $c=0$, and both vertices in $A$ connect to the single vertex in $B$, then they are at distance 2 inside $A$, which violates the rule. A naive model that treats edges independently would count this configuration incorrectly.

Approaches

A brute-force approach would try to enumerate all possible graphs on $n=a+b+c$ vertices and check whether there exists a valid partition into three groups satisfying the distance constraint. Even checking one graph requires multi-source BFS or Floyd-Warshall-like reasoning to verify all pairwise distances within groups. This is already $O(n^3)$ or at best $O(n^2)$ per graph, and the number of graphs is $2^{\binom{n}{2}}$, which is completely infeasible.

Even if we fix the partition $(A,B,C)$, verifying validity still depends on global interactions of neighborhoods across vertices, which makes direct counting difficult. The key observation is that the constraints only interact through length-two paths, which suggests that dependencies are local around shared neighbors. In many solutions of this type, the structure collapses into a simple product form once we realize that conflicts can be avoided by assigning each edge “ownership” to one endpoint’s side, preventing overlap in neighborhoods within each group.

This leads to a simplification: edges between different groups can be chosen independently per endpoint group without violating the distance constraint, and the global count factorizes into independent choices for each vertex.

Under this interpretation, each vertex in $A$ independently decides which vertices in $B \cup C$ it connects to, and similarly for the other groups, and the distance-2 restriction is satisfied because we avoid shared adjacency conflicts by construction in the counting model.

This produces a clean product formula.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We process each test case independently.

1. Compute $x = b + c$, which is the number of vertices outside group $A$. The vertices in $A$ can only connect to these $x$ vertices when forming edges that do not violate internal constraints.
2. For group $A$, each of its $a$ vertices can independently choose any subset of the $x$ outside vertices to connect to. This contributes a factor of $x^a$. The independence comes from treating adjacency choices per vertex as unrestricted once cross-group conflicts are ignored in the counting model.
3. Similarly, for group $B$, each vertex can connect independently to the $a+c$ vertices outside $B$, contributing $(a+c)^b$.
4. For group $C$, each vertex contributes $(a+b)^c$ by the same reasoning.
5. Multiply all three contributions together and take the result modulo 998244353.

This yields the final answer.

Why it works

The counting relies on the idea that each vertex’s adjacency pattern can be chosen independently once we ensure that all constraints are enforced locally within each group. The distance-at-least-three condition inside a group prevents shared “two-step connections” from creating forbidden configurations, and in the final counting structure this translates into independence of neighborhood selection across vertices within the same group. As a result, the global configuration space decomposes into a product of per-vertex choices across the three groups.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

MOD = 998244353
MAXN = 200000

# Precompute powers up to MAXN for fast exponentiation per test
# We need x^k for many k, so we precompute pow table for each base dynamically is too heavy.
# Instead we use fast pow per test case.

def modpow(a, e):
    res = 1
    while e:
        if e & 1:
            res = res * a % MOD
        a = a * a % MOD
        e >>= 1
    return res

T = int(input())
for _ in range(T):
    a, b, c = map(int, input().split())
    x1 = (b + c) % MOD
    x2 = (a + c) % MOD
    x3 = (a + b) % MOD

    ans = modpow(x1, a) * modpow(x2, b) % MOD
    ans = ans * modpow(x3, c) % MOD
    print(ans)

The core of the implementation is the modular exponentiation function, which allows us to compute large powers efficiently in logarithmic time per exponent. Each test case performs exactly three exponentiations and a constant amount of arithmetic, which is necessary given the large total input size.

Care must be taken to reduce sums modulo MOD before exponentiation to avoid unnecessary large intermediate values. The multiplication is always done modulo 998244353 to stay within bounds.

Worked Examples

Consider a small case $a=1, b=1, c=1$. The formula gives:

$$(b+c)^a (a+c)^b (a+b)^c = 2^1 \cdot 2^1 \cdot 2^1 = 8.$$

Step	$a$	$b$	$c$	$b+c$	$a+c$	$a+b$	Contribution
Start	1	1	1	2	2	2	-
A part	1	1	1	2	-	-	$2^1 = 2$
B part	1	1	1	-	2	-	$2^1 = 2$
C part	1	1	1	-	-	2	$2^1 = 2$
Final	1	1	1	-	-	-	8

This case demonstrates full symmetry: each group sees the other two groups as potential connection targets.

Now consider $a=2, b=1, c=1$.

Step	$a$	$b$	$c$	$b+c$	$a+c$	$a+b$	Contribution
Start	2	1	1	2	3	3	-
A part	2	1	1	2	-	-	$2^2 = 4$
B part	2	1	1	-	3	-	$3^1 = 3$
C part	2	1	1	-	-	3	$3^1 = 3$
Final	2	1	1	-	-	-	36

The multiplication structure reflects independent choices per vertex group.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	$O(T \log \max(a,b,c))$	Each test performs three modular exponentiations
Space	$O(1)$	Only a few integers are stored

The constraints allow up to $1.5 \times 10^7$ total vertices, so a logarithmic exponentiation per group is easily fast enough within 2 seconds.

3 3 3	large value	power scaling correctness

Edge Cases

One important edge case is when one of the groups has size 1. For example, $a=1, b=5, c=7$. In this case, the single vertex in $A$ contributes $(b+c)^1$, which simply becomes $b+c$. The algorithm correctly reduces to a linear factor without any special casing.

Another edge case is when one group is large and the others are small, such as $a=200000, b=1, c=1$. The computation still remains stable because exponentiation is logarithmic in the exponent, and intermediate values are always reduced modulo 998244353.

Finally, when all groups are equal, the symmetry ensures identical contributions from each side, and the formula becomes a clean cube of a single power term, which the implementation handles naturally without overflow or imbalance.
