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.

import java.util.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    int n = sc.nextInt();
    int[] b = new int[n+1];

    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
      b[i] = sc.nextInt();
    }

    b[0] = b[1];
    b[n] = b[n-1];
    
    int ans = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
      int a = Math.min(b[i-1], b[i]);
      ans += Math.min(a, b[i+1]);
    }
    ans += b[n];
    
    System.out.println(ans);
  }
