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.

use std::io::*;
use std::str::FromStr;

pub fn read<T: FromStr>() -> T {
  let stdin = stdin();
  let stdin = stdin.lock();
  let token: String = stdin
    .bytes()
    .map(|c| c.expect("failed to read char") as char)
    .skip_while(|c| c.is_whitespace())
    .take_while(|c| !c.is_whitespace())
    .collect();
  token.parse().ok().expect("failed to parse token")
}

pub fn read_n<T: FromStr>(n: usize) -> Vec<T> {
  read_n_logic::<T>(n, vec![])
}

pub fn read_n_logic<T: FromStr>(n: usize, mut a: Vec<T>) -> Vec<T> {
  match n {
    0 => a,
    _ => {
      a.push(read::<T>());
      read_n_logic(n - 1, a)
    }
  }
}

use std::cmp::{max, min};

fn main() {
  let n: usize = read();
  let b: Vec<i64> = read_n(n-1);

  let mut ans = b[0];
  for i in 0..b.len()-1 {
      ans += min(b[i], b[i+1])
  }

  ans += b[b.len()-1];


  println!("{}", ans);
}
