Math.Multiply

Name - Description Default Type
<input> Any valid integer(s), floating point number(s), or a sequence of such entities supported by this operation. IntInt2Int3Int4Int8Int16FloatFloat2Float3Float4Color[ Any ]
<output> The result of the operation, usually in the same type as the input value. IntInt2Int3Int4Int8Int16FloatFloat2Float3Float4Color[ Any ]
Operand The operand for this operation. 0 Int&IntInt2&Int2Int3&Int3Int4&Int4Int8&Int8Int16&Int16Float&FloatFloat2&Float2Float3&Float3Float4&Float4Color&Color[ Any ]&[ Any ]

Applies the binary operation on the input value and the operand and returns the result (or a sequence of results if the input and the operand are sequences).

Details

Multiplication is a binary operation, i.e., it needs two arguments to give a result.

The Math.Multiply shard takes in the Input and the parameter :Operand to produce the Output.

Both Input and :Operand can be an integer, a float, or a sequence of such entities (but both value types should match for a given operation). The Output is generally of the same type as the Input provided to the shard.
