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 <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define rep(i,n,x) for(int i=(n);i<(x);++i)
using ll = long long;

int main() {
	int n; cin >> n;
	vector<int> b(n - 1); rep(i, 0, n - 1) cin >> b[i];

	ll ans = b[0] + b[n - 2];
	rep(i, 0, n - 2) {
		ans += min(b[i], b[i + 1]);
	}

	cout << ans << endl;

	return 0;
