Decimal.Multiply() Method in C#


The Decimal.Add() method in C# is used to multiply two specified Decimal values.

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

public static decimal Multiply (decimal val1, decimal val2);

Above, va1 is the multiplicand, whereas val2 is the multiplier.

Example

Let us now see an example to implement the Decimal.Multiply() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Decimal val1 = 3.45m;
      Decimal val2 = 2.35m;
      Console.WriteLine("Decimal 1 = "+val1);
      Console.WriteLine("Decimal 2 = "+val2);
      Decimal res = Decimal.Multiply(val1, val2);
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Multiplication) = "+res);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Decimal 1 = 3.45
Decimal 2 = 2.35
Result (Multiplication) = 8.1075

Example

Let us now see another example to implement the Decimal.Multiply() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Decimal val1 = Decimal.MinValue;
      Decimal val2 = 1.21m;
      Console.WriteLine("Decimal 1 = "+val1);
      Console.WriteLine("Decimal 2 = "+val2);
      Decimal res = Decimal.Multiply(val1, val2);
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Multiplication) = "+res);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output displaying exception that the value exceeded for decimal −

Decimal 1 = -79228162514264337593543950335
Decimal 2 = 1.21
Run-time exception (line 13): Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.
Stack Trace:
[System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.]
   at System.Decimal.FCallMultiply(Decimal& d1, Decimal& d2)
   at System.Decimal.Multiply(Decimal d1, Decimal d2)
   at Demo.Main() :line 13
