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>(
    stdin_lock: &mut std::io::StdinLock,
    buf: &mut Vec<u8>,
    delimiter: u8,
) -> T {
    buf.clear();
    let l = std::io::BufRead::read_until(stdin_lock, delimiter, buf).unwrap();
    buf.truncate(l - 1); // remove delimiter
    let s = unsafe { std::str::from_utf8_unchecked(&buf) };
    s.parse().unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!("read"))
}

fn main() {
    use std::cmp::min;
    let stdin = std::io::stdin();
    let mut stdin_lock = stdin.lock();
    let mut buf: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
    let a: u8 = read(&mut stdin_lock, &mut buf, b' ');
    let b: u8 = read(&mut stdin_lock, &mut buf, b'\n');
    let av = vec![char::from(0x30 + a); b as usize];
    let bv = vec![char::from(0x30 + b); a as usize];
    let s: String = av.into_iter().collect();
    let t: String = bv.into_iter().collect();
    println!("{}", min(s, t));
