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 {
        for _ in 0..b {
            print!("{}", a);
        }
    } else {
        for _ in 0..a {
            print!("{}", b);
        }
    }
    println!("");
}

fn read_vec<T: std::str::FromStr>() -> Vec<T> {
    let mut s = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut s).ok();
    s.trim().split_whitespace().map(|e| e.parse().ok().unwrap()).collect()
