Problem Statement

Snuke has one biscuit and zero Japanese yen (the currency) in his pocket.
He will perform the following operations exactly K times in total, in the order he likes:

Hit his pocket, which magically increases the number of biscuits by one.

Exchange A biscuits to 1 yen.

Exchange 1 yen to B biscuits.

Find the maximum possible number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations.

Constraints

1 \leq K,A,B \leq 10^9

K,A and B are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

K A B

Output

Print the maximum possible number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations.

Sample Input 1

4 2 6

Sample Output 1

7

The number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations is maximized as follows:

Hit his pocket. Now he has 2 biscuits and 0 yen.

Exchange 2 biscuits to 1 yen. his pocket. Now he has 0 biscuits and 1 yen.

Hit his pocket. Now he has 1 biscuits and 1 yen.

Exchange 1 yen to 6 biscuits. his pocket. Now he has 7 biscuits and 0 yen.

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

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void) {
  long k, a, b, ans = 1, en = 0, tes;

  if(scanf("%lld %lld %lld", &k, &a, &b) == 1);

  if(a > b - 2 || k < a) {
    ans = k + 1;
  } else {
    k -= (a - 1);
    ans = a;

    ans -= a * (k / 2);
    ans += b * (k / 2);
    if(k % 2 != 0) {
      ans++;
    }
  }

  printf("\n%ld", ans);


  return 0;
}
