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:

Output

Print the lexicographically smaller of the two strings. (If the two strings are equal, print one of them.)
