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

Solution in Ruby (2.3.3) (judge verdict: Accepted)

require 'pp'

# 空白区切の入力値を数値の配列で返却する
def gets_i_list()
  gets.chomp.split(" ").map(&:to_i)
end

K, A, B = gets_i_list

y = 0
bc = 1
# 持っているビスケットを叩き、1枚増やす
# ビスケット A枚を1円に交換する
# 1円をビスケットB枚に交換する
diff = B - A
if diff <= 2
  puts K + 1
else
  k_count = K - A + 1
  ab_count = (k_count.to_f / 2).floor
  remain_count = k_count - ab_count * 2
  bc = A + (B - A) * ab_count + remain_count
  puts bc
end
