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;

int main() {
  int N;
  cin >> N;
  vector<int> B(N-1);
  for (int i = 0; i < N-1; i++) {
    cin >> B[i];
  }
  
  int ans = B[0];
  
  if (N > 2) {
    for (int i = 0; i < N-2; i++) {
      ans += min(B[i],B[i+1]);
    }
  }
	
  ans += B[N-2];
  
  cout << ans << endl;
