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.

		int b[] = new int[n - 1];

		String str[] = br.readLine().split(" ");

		for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
			b[i] = Integer.parseInt(str[i]);
		}

		long ans = b[0] + b[(n - 1) - 1];

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

		System.out.println(ans);
