P13831 [MX-X18-T3] "FAOI-R6" Biya Duoxi.
Background
The most recent time I saw Xiao B's name was on a preliminary contest mock paper.
Time flies, yet Xiao B from several years ago and I are sitting in the same classroom, doing the same paper.
Description
Xiao B has a positive integer $n$ and a special integer $k$ in $[1,n]$.
You have three integers $l, r, s$. Initially $l=1, r=n, s=0$. You need to perform the following operations in order:
1. Let $m=\bigl\lfloor\frac{l+r}{2}\bigr\rfloor$, and set $s\gets s+1$.
2. If $m=k$, stop.
3. If $mk$, set $r\gets m-1$.
5. Go back to operation 1.
It can be proved that the process will always stop after finitely many operations.
Let $c_i$ be the final value of $s$ when $k=i$. Let $f(x)$ be $\sum_{i=1}^{n} c_i$ when $n=x$.
Given positive integers $L, R$, you need to compute $\sum_{i=L}^{R} f(i)$ modulo $998244353$.
Input Format
**This problem contains multiple test cases.**
The first line contains an integer $T$, the number of test cases. For each test case:
- One line with two positive integers $L, R$, the lower and upper bounds of the summation.
Output Format
For each test case, output one line with one integer, the answer modulo $998244353$.
Explanation/Hint
**[Sample Explanation]**
In the first test case, for $n=5$, the values of $c_1, c_2, c_3, c_4, c_5$ are $2,3,1,2,3$ respectively. So $f(5)=2+3+1+2+3=11$.

In the second test case, $f(1)=1$, $f(2)=1+2=3$, $f(3)=2+1+2=5$, $f(4)=2+1+2+3=8$. So the answer is $1+3+5+8=17$.
**[Constraints]**
**This problem uses bundled testdata.**
|Subtask ID|$R\le$|$T\le$|Special Property|Score|

Special properties:
- Special Property A: $L=R$.
- Special Property B: $R=2^{k}-1$, where $k$ is a positive integer.
For all testdata, $1\le T\le 10^5$, $1\le L\le R\le 10^{18}$.
