Problem Statement

Snuke has one biscuit and zero Japanese yen (the currency) in his pocket.
He will perform the following operations exactly K times in total, in the order he likes:

Hit his pocket, which magically increases the number of biscuits by one.

Exchange A biscuits to 1 yen.

Exchange 1 yen to B biscuits.

Find the maximum possible number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations.

Constraints

1 \leq K,A,B \leq 10^9

K,A and B are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

K A B

Output

Print the maximum possible number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations.

Sample Input 1

4 2 6

Sample Output 1

7

The number of biscuits in Snuke's pocket after K operations is maximized as follows:

Hit his pocket. Now he has 2 biscuits and 0 yen.

Exchange 2 biscuits to 1 yen. his pocket. Now he has 0 biscuits and 1 yen.

Hit his pocket. Now he has 1 biscuits and 1 yen.

Exchange 1 yen to 6 biscuits. his pocket. Now he has 7 biscuits and 0 yen.

Solution in Scala (2.11.7) (judge verdict: Accepted)

object Main {

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val sc = new java.util.Scanner(System.in)

    val K, A, B = sc.nextLong()
    // 普通に増やすと K 枚まで増やせる
    // B - A > 2 の場合, 普通に叩いて増やすより効率的
    // K max ((K / 2) * (B - A) + K % 2)
    // 注意するのは 最初に A 枚まで増やす必要がある.
    // K - (A + 1)

    println((K + 1) max (((K - A + 1L) / 2L) * (B - A) + (K - A + 1L) % 2L + A))
  }
