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 Rust (1.15.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

fn main() {
    let v = read_vec::<usize>();
    let a = v[0];
    let b = v[1];
    if a >= b {
        let x = vec![b; a];
        println!(
            "{}",
            x.into_iter()
                .map(|i| i.to_string())
                .collect::<Vec<String>>()
                .join("")
        );
    } else {
        let x = vec![a; b];
        println!(
            "{}",
            x.into_iter()
                .map(|i| i.to_string())
                .collect::<Vec<String>>()
                .join("")
        );
    }
