Puzzle 10 – Solution

The key here is that ‘division is the reverse of multiplication.’

It is pretty easy to multiple two integers using repeated addition. However it’s a bit difficult to extend the same logic for floating point numbers. The easiest way to perform multiplication without using the ‘*’ sign is to do a division.

package com.twister;
public class Multiply{
 public static void main(String args[]){
     float num1 = 20.5f;
     float num2 = 2.0f;
     float product = num1/(1.0f/num2);
     System.out.println("The product of the Numbers is : "+product);
 }
}

Sorry no correct answers this week!
