Example: Multiply Two Floating-Point Numbers
public class MultiplyTwoNumbers {
public static void main(String[] args) {
float first = 1.5f;
float second = 2.0f;
float product = first * second;
System.out.println("The product is: " + product);
}
}
Output
The product is: 3.0
In the above program, we have two floating-point numbers 1.5f
and 2.0f
stored in variables first and second respectively.
Notice, we have used f
after the numbers. This ensures the numbers are float
, otherwise they will be assigned - type double
.
first and second are then multiplied using the *
operator and the result is stored in a new float variable product.
Finally, the result product is printed on the screen using println()
function.
