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.

Sample Input 2

7 3 4

Sample Output 2

8

Sample Input 3

Solution in Go (1.6) (judge verdict: Accepted)

package main

import (
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  var k, a, b int
  var yen int = 0
  var biscuit uint64 = 1
  fmt.Scan(&k)
  fmt.Scan(&a)
  fmt.Scan(&b)
  var isNoSell = a - 1 >= b
  for i := 0; i < k; i++ {
    if (isNoSell) {
      biscuit++
    } else {
      if yen > 0 {
        yen -= 1
        biscuit += uint64(b)
      } else if biscuit >= uint64(a) && i < k - 1 && b - a > 2 {
        biscuit -= uint64(a)
        yen += 1
      } else {
        biscuit++
      }
    }
  }
  fmt.Println(biscuit)
}
