Arithmetic MULTIPLY Operator

The * operator is a binary (infix) arithmetic MULTIPLY operator. The * operator expects an integer right hand operand and an integer left hand operand. If either operand is a string, it will be automatically coerced to an integer before the MULTIPLY operator is applied.

 

syntax:

	<left_expr> * <right_expr>

<left_expr> and <right_expr> are refered to as the left and right operand respectively and may themselves be simple values or complex expressions.

e.g.
	0x1234 * 16			yields 0x12340

	10 * 3				yields 30

	(5 + 7) * 8			yields 104
