Parameters

Parameter Type Description
value1 Number or String Required. The first value to multiply. Must be a number or convertible to a number.
value2 Number or String Required. The second value to multiply. Must be a number or convertible to a number.

Return Value

The function returns the arithmetic product of the two input values. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation multiplies only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places.

If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can’t be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception.
