            if a == "":
                break;
            b = str(input())
            t = 0 ;
            flag = 0;
            for i in range(a.__len__()):
                if a[i] > b[0]:
                    t = i
                    flag = 1
                    break;
            if flag is 0 :
                t = a.__len__()
            ans = a[:t]
            ans = ans + b
            ans = ans + a[t:]
            print(ans)
