Description |
Multiply or divide two numbers. They can also be used as unary operators at the beginning of a parenthesized sub-expression. Numeric underflow is not considered to be an error and neither is it flagged as a warning. The result returned is zero. |

Side Effects |
Units are consolidated across Multiply and Divide. The dimension of the result of the expression is determined from the combination of all the values being combined. For example 1kg / (1m * 1m *1m ) will give a density of 1kg/m3. |
