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.

#include<cstdio>
#define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))
#define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b))
using namespace std;
const int maxn=150;
int B[maxn],N,ans,now;
int main(){
	scanf("%d",&N);
	for(int i=1;i<N;i++) scanf("%d",&B[i]);
	ans=B[1]; now=B[1];
	for(int i=2;i<N;i++){
		ans+=min(now,B[i]);
		now=B[i];
	}
	ans+=now;
	printf("%d\n",ans);
	return 0;
