        Multiply expressions

        Multiply expressions are used to multiply 2 values.

            A multiply expression is a code fragment which produces a value, whose type is determined by the values being subtracted, and which can then be used as an input for other operations: print, write, method call and so forth.

            A multiply expression has the form a * b.

            The * operator is used because x being a letter, it can be used as a name, which would be confusing.
