BcMath\Number::mul — Multiplies an arbitrary precision number
Multiplies $this by num.
numscalescale explicitly specified for calculation results.
If null, the scale of the calculation result will be set automatically.
Returns the result of multiplication as a new BcMath\Number object.
When the BcMath\Number::scale of the result object is automatically set, the sum of the BcMath\Number::scales of the two values used for multiplication is used.
That is, if the BcMath\Number::scales of two values are 2
and 5 respectively, the BcMath\Number::scale of the result
will be 7.
This method throws a ValueError in the following cases:
num is string and not a well-formed BCMath numeric stringscale is outside the valid rangeExample #1 BcMath\Number::mul() example when scale is not specified
<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('1.234');
$ret1 = $number->mul(new BcMath\Number('2.3456'));
$ret2 = $number->mul('-3.4');
$ret3 = $number->mul(7);
var_dump($number, $ret1, $ret2, $ret3);
?>The above example will output:
object(BcMath\Number)#1 (2) {
["value"]=>
string(5) "1.234"
["scale"]=>
int(3)
}
object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {

Example #2 BcMath\Number::mul() example of explicitly specifying scale
<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('1.234');
$ret1 = $number->mul(new BcMath\Number('2.3456'), 1);
$ret2 = $number->mul('-3.4', 10);
$ret3 = $number->mul(7, 0);
var_dump($number, $ret1, $ret2, $ret3);
?>The above example will output:
