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 Scala (2.11.7) (judge verdict: Accepted)

import java.io.{BufferedReader, InputStreamReader}

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))
    val _ = in.readLine().toInt
    val bs = in.readLine().split("\\s+").map(_.toInt)

    System.out.println(
      bs.head + bs.zip(bs.tail).map {
        case (b1, b2) => Math.min(b1, b2)
      }.sum + bs.last
    )
  }
