Problem Statement

Given are 1-digit positive integers a and b. Consider these two strings: the concatenation of b copies of the digit a, and the concatenation of a copies of the digit b. Which of these is lexicographically smaller?

Constraints

1 \leq a \leq 9

1 \leq b \leq 9

a and b are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

a b

Output

Print the lexicographically smaller of the two strings. (If the two strings are equal, print one of them.)

Sample Input 1

4 3

Sample Output 1

3333

We have two strings 444 and 3333. Between them, 3333 is the lexicographically smaller.

Sample Input 2

7 7

Sample Output 2

7777777

import java.io.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String[] arr = reader.readLine().split(" ");
        int a = Integer.parseInt(arr[0]);
        int b = Integer.parseInt(arr[1]);
        String ans = "";
        if (a < b) {
            for (int i = 0; i < b; i++) {
                ans += a;
            }
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < a; i++) {
                ans += b;
            }
        }
        System.out.println(ans);
    }
}
