Multiply Numbers

Hello,

I'm trying to multiply 2 fractions by using ONLY addition operations. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks.

For X*Y Loop X times trough R=R+X

That doesn't work for fractions (decimal fractions that the user enters)!

loose the decimal point, and add up both decimal places in the result, for instance:

2.5 * 3.75
decimal places: 1 + 2 = 3

25 * 375
loop 25 times, add up 375 to result

result = 9375

add 3 decimal places:

9.375

keddie,

How do you lose the decimal points without multiplication/division? Methinks that logarithms are the way to go.

Cheers,

P.

paul> how about instrrev(value,".") to find it, and replace(value,".","") to removit it.

Well i'm not sure how this scenario is set but i'm sure multiplication is done with integers.
