Smaller String Number

Published by Helen Yu in

Create a function that returns the smaller number.

Examples

smallerNum("21", "44") ➞ "21"

smallerNum("1500", "1") ➞ "1"

smallerNum("5", "5") ➞ "5"

Notes

  • Numbers will be represented as strings, and your output should also be a string.
  • If both numbers tie, return either number.
  • Numbers will be positive.
  • Bonus: See if you can do this without converting to integers.
