This method is used to multiply two specified decimal values.
Syntax: public static decimal Multiply (decimal a1, decimal a2);
Parameters:
a1: This parameter specifies the multiplicand.
a2: This parameter specifies the multiplier.
Return Value: The result of the multiplication of a1 & a2.
Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the return value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of Decimal.Multiply(Decimal, Decimal) Method
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Multiply(Decimal,
// Decimal) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal variables
Decimal a1 = 4.02m;
Decimal a2 = 2.01m;
// multiplying the two Decimal value
// using Multiplying() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Multiply(a1, a2);
// Display the product
Console.WriteLine("Result of multiplication : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e) {
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Result of multiplication : 8.0802
Example 2: Program for OverflowException
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Multiply(Decimal,
// Decimal) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal variables
Decimal a1 = 4.02m;
Decimal a2 = Decimal.MaxValue;
// multiplying the two Decimal value
// using Multiply() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Multiply(a1, a2);
// Display the product
Console.WriteLine("Result of multiplication : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowException
