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

Solution in Kotlin (1.0.0) (judge verdict: Accepted)

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  val (a, b) = readInts()
  var aStr = ""
  var bStr = ""
  for (i in 0 until b) {
    aStr += a
  }
  for (i in 0 until a) {
    bStr += b
  }
  println(if (aStr < bStr) aStr else bStr)
}

fun readString() = readLine()!!
fun readStrings() = readString().split(" ")
fun readInt() = readString().toInt()
fun readInts() = readStrings().map { it.toInt() }
fun readLongs() = readStrings().map { it.toLong() }
