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 read<T: std::str::FromStr>() -> T {
    let mut s = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut s).ok();
    s.trim().parse().ok().unwrap()
}

fn read_vec<T: std::str::FromStr>() -> Vec<T> {
    read::<String>()
        .split_whitespace()
        .map(|e| e.parse().ok().unwrap())
        .collect()
}

fn main() {
    let ab: Vec<u32> = read_vec();
    let a = ab[0];
    let b = ab[1];

    let sa: Vec<String> = (0..b).map(|_| a.to_string()).collect();
    let sa = sa.connect("");

    let sb: Vec<String> = (0..a).map(|_| b.to_string()).collect();
    let sb = sb.connect("");

    println!("{}", if sa < sb { sa } else { sb });
}
