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.

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

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

(k, a, b) = gets.chomp.split(' ').map(&:to_i)

if a < b then
  if k < a - 1 then
    puts (1 + k).to_s
  elsif b - a <= 1 then
    puts (1 + k).to_s
  else
    k -= a - 1
    m = k / 2
    t = a
    t += m * (b - a)
    
    if k % 2 == 1 then
      t += 1
    end
    
    puts t.to_s
  end
else
  puts (1 + k).to_s
end
