The arithmetic multiplication operator computes the product of two operands. The multiplication operator is defined for:
Byte
, Short
, Integer
and Long
. If integer overflow checking in on and the product is outside the range of the result type, a System.OverflowException
exception is thrown. Otherwise, overflows are not reported and any significant high-order bits of the result are discarded.Single
and Double
. The product is computed according to the rules of IEEE 754 arithmetic.Decimal
. If the resulting value is too large to represent in the decimal format, a System.OverflowException
exception is thrown. If the result value is too small to represent in the decimal format, the result is zero.*
