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 scala.io.StdIn
object Main extends App {
  val N = StdIn.readLine().toInt
  val B = StdIn.readLine().split(" ").map(_.toInt).toList
  val answer = for {
    i <- 0 to N-2
    a = if (i == 0) B(0) else B(i).min(B(i-1))
  } yield a
  println(answer.sum + B(N-2))
}
