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.

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

N = gets.chomp.to_i
B = gets.chomp.split.map(&:to_i)
A = Array.new(N)
if N == 2
  puts B[0] * 2
  exit
end
if B[0] > B[1]
  A[0] = B[0]
  A[1] = B[1]
elsif B[0] <= B[1]
  A[0] = A[1] = B[0]
end
(2..B.length-1).each do |i|
  A[i] = [B[i-1], B[i]].min
end
A[-1] = B[-1]
puts A.inject(:+)
