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 Rust (1.15.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

use std::cmp;

fn main() {
    // input
    // N
    let _ = read_line::<usize>();
    // B
    let b = read_vec::<u64>();

    let mut before = std::u64::MAX;
    let mut ans: u64 = *(b.last().unwrap());
    for now in b {
        ans += cmp::min(before, now);
        before = now;
    }
    println!("{}", ans);
}
