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.

int min(int a, int b)
{
  return a<b?a:b;

  int n, b[MAXN], mps = 0;
 scanf("%d", &n);
  for(int i = 1; i<n; i++)
    scanf("%d", &b[i]);
  b[n] = MAX_INT;
  mps += b[1];
  for(int i = 2; i<=n; i++)
  {
    mps+=min(b[i-1], b[i]);
  }
  printf("%d", mps);
