Golang example - program to multiply two numbers

 In this blog post, you are going to learn below things

• Multiply two integers 
• Multiply two floating numbers
• Multiply integer and floating numbers 

Example1 program to Multiply two integers

package main

import (
 "fmt"
)

func main() {
 var number1, number2 int
 number1 = 5
 number2 = 6
 result := number1 * number2
 fmt.Printf("Multiply result is  %d\n", result)

}

Output is

Multiply result is  30

Example2 program to Multiply two floating numbers

package main

import (
 "fmt"
)

func main() {
 var number1, number2 float64
 number1 = 5.1
 number2 = 6.3
 result := number1 * number2
 fmt.Printf("Multiply floating numbers result is  %f\n", result)

}

Output is

Multiply floating numbers result is  32.130000

Example2 program to Multiply integer and floating numbers

When you are doing multiply with different types (int and float),you got error invalid operation: number1 * number2 (mismatched types int and float64) The following program gives error

package main

import (
 "fmt"
)

func main() {
 var number1 int
 var number2 float64
 number1 = 5
 number2 = 6.3
 result := number1 * number2
 fmt.Printf("Multiply float and int numbers result is  %f\n", result)

}

Output is

# command-line-arguments
Test.go:12:20: invalid operation: number1 * number2 (mismatched types int and float64)

When you are multiply with float, The other number must be float. So int type need to convert to float using float64(intvalue)
Here is a working code

package main

import (
 "fmt"
)

func main() {
 var number1 int
 var number2 float64
 number1 = 5
 number2 = 6.3
 result := float64(number1) * number2
 fmt.Printf("Multiply float and int numbers result is  %f\n", result)

}

Output is

Multiply float and int numbers result is  31.500000
