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>

unsigned int a[101];
unsigned int b[101];

int main(void)
{
    unsigned int n;
    unsigned int i;
    long long ret = 0;

    scanf("%d", &n);
    for (i = 0; i < (n - 1 ); i++) scanf("%d", &b[i]);

    a[0] = b[0];
    for (i = 0; i < (n - 2); i++) {
        if (b[i] >= b[i + 1]) {
            a[i + 1] = b[i + 1];
        } else {
            a[i + 1] = b[i];
        }
    }
    a[n - 1] = b[n - 2];

    for ( i = 0; i < n; i++) ret += a[i];

    printf("%ld", ret);

    return 0;
