Problem Statement

There is an integer sequence A of length N whose values are unknown.

Given is an integer sequence B of length N-1 which is known to satisfy the following:

B_i \geq \max(A_i, A_{i+1})

Find the maximum possible sum of the elements of A.

Constraints

All values in input are integers.

2 \leq N \leq 100

0 \leq B_i \leq 10^5

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
B_1 B_2 ... B_{N-1}

Output

Print the maximum possible sum of the elements of A.

Sample Input 1

3
2 5

Sample Output 1

9

A can be, for example, ( 2 , 1 , 5 ), ( -1 , -2 , -3 ), or ( 2 , 2 , 5 ). Among those candidates, A = ( 2 , 2 , 5 ) has the maximum possible sum.

Solution in C (GCC 5.4.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
  int N;
  int B[110];
  int i;

  scanf("%d", &N);
  for (i = 1; i <= N-1; i++) {
    scanf("%d", &B[i]);
  }

  int A[110];
  A[1] = B[1];
  A[N] = B[N-1];

  for (i = 2; i <= N-1; i++) {
    if (B[i] < B[i-1]) {
      A[i] = B[i];
    }else{
      A[i] = B[i-1];
    }
  }

  int ans = 0;

  for (i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
    ans += A[i];
  }

  printf("%d\n", ans);
}
