Arithmetic Pure Generic
Multiply
A 0

Description

Pure function returning the product of two numbers.

When to use

Use Multiply to scale a value by a factor, compute an area, or apply a fixed multiplier to a count. Both integer and decimal inputs are accepted — wire decimal values directly without converting first. For repeated multiplication by the same base, Power is more concise.
