Multiply '*'

Syntax

Assignment Variable = Variable * Variable

Overview

Multiplies variables and/or constants, returning an unsigned or signed 8, 16, 32-bit or floating point result.

Operands

Variables may be constants, variables or expressions. Assignment Variable can be any valid variable type.

Multiply works exactly as you would expect with signed or unsigned integers from -2147483648 to +2147483647, or 0 to 4294967295, as well as floating point.

  Device = 24FJ64GA002           ' Select the device to compile for
  Declare Xtal = 16      ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz
  Declare Hserial1_Baud = 9600
  Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14

  Dim MyWord1 as Word
  Dim MyWord2 as Word

  PPS_Output(cOut_Pin_RP14, cOut_Fn_U1TX)  ' Make Pin RB14 U1TX

  MyWord1 = 1000
  MyWord2 = 19
  MyWord1 = MyWord 1 * MyWord2   ' Multiply MyWord1 by MyWrd2.
  HrsoutLn Dec MyWord1            ' Display the result

' 32-bit multiplication
  Device = 24FJ64GA002           ' Select the device to compile for
  Declare Xtal = 16      ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz

  Declare Hserial1_Baud = 9600
  Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14

  Dim MyWord as Word
  Dim MyDword as Dword

  PPS_Output(cOut_Pin_RP14, cOut_Fn_U1TX)  ' Make Pin RB14 U1TX

  MyWord = 100
  MyDword = 10000
  MyDword = MyDword * MyWord      ' Multiply the numbers.
  HrsoutLn Dec MyDword            ' Display the result
