Description

Multiplication operator.

Returns

If there's only a single argument, that argument will be returned.

If the first argument is an object that implements lfun::`*(), that function will be called with the rest of the arguments.

If there are more than two arguments, the result will be

`*(`*(arg1, arg2), @extras)

.

If arg2 is an object that implements lfun::``*(), that function will be called with arg1 as the single argument.

Otherwise the result will be as follows:

arg1 can have any of the following types:

array arg2 can have any of the following types: int The result will be arg1 concatenated arg2 times. string The result will be the elements of arg1 concatenated with arg2 interspersed. string The result will be arg1 concatenated arg2 times. int The result will be arg1 * arg2 , and will be a float if either arg1 or arg2 is a float.

Note

In Pike 7.0 and earlier the multiplication order was unspecified.
