39. Form a Number from Digits
Problem Statement: You are given n digits, each entered separately by the user. Your
task is to combine these digits in the same order to form a single number.
Input Format:
The first line contains an integer n (number of digits).
The second line contains n space-separated digits.
Output Format:
Print the number formed by the digits.
Constraints: 1 <= n <= 10 and each digit d satisfies 0 <= d <= 9. Leading
zeros are allowed.
