# Task 2: Max Number
# You are given a list of positive integers.
# Write a script to concatenate the integers to form the highest possible value.

# Example 1
# Input: @list = (1, 23)
# Output: 231

# Example 2
# Input: @list = (10, 3, 2)
# Output: 3210

# Example 3
# Input: @list = (31, 2, 4, 10)
# Output: 431210
