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::io::Read;

fn run() {
    let mut s = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut s).unwrap();
    let mut it = s.trim().split_whitespace();
    let n: usize = it.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap();
    let b: Vec<u32> = (0..(n - 1)).map(|_| it.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap()).collect();
    let mut ans = b[0] + b[n - 2];
    for i in 1..(n - 1) {
        ans += std::cmp::min(b[i - 1], b[i]);
    }
    println!("{}", ans);
}

fn main() {
    run();
}
