In this article, we will understand how to multiply two floating-point numbers. A floating-point number, is a positive or negative whole number with a decimal point. There are two types of floating point in Kotlin

• Float
• Double

Below is a demonstration of the same −

Suppose our input is

val1: 10.5
val2: 45.0


The desired output would be

The product is: 472.5


## Algorithm

• Step 1 − Start

• Step 2 − Declare three floating points: val1, val2 and product

• Step 3 − Define the floating-point values

• Step 4 − Read the values

• Step 5 − Multiply the two values using a multiplication operator (*)

• Step 6 − Display the result

• Step 7 − Stop

## Example 1

In this example, we will multiply two floating-point numbers using the multiplication arithmetic operator

fun main() {

val val1 = 10.5f
val val2 = 45.0f

println("The first value is defined as: $val1") println("The second value is defined as:$val2")

val product = val1 * val2
println("The product is: $product") }  ## Output The first value is defined as: 10.5 The second value is defined as: 45.0 The product is: 472.5  ## Example 2 In this example, we will multiply two floating-point numbers: fun product(val1 : Float, val2 : Float){ val product = val1 * val2 println("The product is:$product")
}

fun main() {
val val1 = 12.5f
val val2 = 40.0f

println("The first value is defined as: $val1") println("The second value is defined as:$val2")
product(val1, val2)
}


## Output

The first value is defined as: 12.5

The second value is defined as: 40.0
The product is: 500.0


## Example 3

In this example, we will multiply two floating-point numbers (Double) using the multiplication arithmetic operator

fun main() {
val val1 = 12.0
val val2 = 23.5

println("The first value is defined as: $val1") println("The second value is defined as:$val2")

val product = val1 * val2
println("The product is: \$product")
}


## Output

The first value is defined as: 12.0

The second value is defined as: 23.5
The product is: 282.0
