floatingProduct()

The vgLib.floatingProduct() system function promotes two numbers to double-precision floating point type, multiplies them together, and returns the product.

vgLib.floatingProduct() is one of a number of functions maintained for compatibility with earlier versions. New code should use standard EGL operators for these purposes.

Syntax

  vgLib.floatingProduct(
    operand1 FLOAT in,
    operand2 FLOAT in)
  returns (result FLOAT)
operand1
Any numeric value that is assignment compatible with FLOAT. The value is converted to double-precision floating point type before being multiplied by operand2.
operand2
Any numeric variable that is assignment compatible with FLOAT.
result
A FLOAT value.

Example

The following example shows the vgLib.floatingProduct() function:

myVar01, myVar02, result FLOAT;
myVar01 = 19;
myVar02 = 7;
result = vgLib.floatingProduct(myVar01,myVar02);
// result = 133.0
