Multiplication the possible of use:
x = 10 * 5      ' x=50
y = 100 * 1.2   ' y=120
z = (x / 5) * 10' z=100

Basic

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation multiplication:
i * &HFF
10 * 3.14
(10 - j * 0.5) * 2

Basic

Other pieces of example codes:
x * 2 / y
x <= y * 5
(x * y)
y = 4 * &Hff
x = 5 * y
i = x * 5
