Synopsis
number * number

Description
Multiply or divide two numbers. They can also be used as unary operators at the beginning of a parenthesised 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.
Example
2 * 3 -> 6.0
2 / 3 -> 0.666666666
Errors
Divide by zero.
