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>

int main(void){
  int a,b,k;
  long count = 1;
  scanf("%d" "%d" "%d",&k,&a,&b);

  if(a>=b-2 | k <= a){
    count = count + k;
  }else{
    count = a;
    for(int i = 0;i < (k-a+1)/2;i++){
      count = count + b - a;
    }
    if((k-a+1)%2==1){
      count++;
    }
  }
  printf("%ld\n",count);

  return(0);
}
