Java program to multiply two floating-point numbers

Java Comprehensive Examples

In this program, you will learn how to multiply two floating-point numbers in Java, store the result, and display it on the screen.

Example: Multiplication of two floating-point numbers

public class MultiplyTwoNumbers {
　　　　public static void main(String[] args) {
　　　　　　　　float first =　1.5f;
　　　　　　　　float second =　2.0f;
　　　　　　　　float product = first　*　second;
　　　　　　　　System.out.println("Calculation Result: ",　+　product);
　　　　}
}

When running the program, the output is:

Calculation Result:　3.0

In the above program, we have two floating-point numbers1.5f and2.0f and store them in variables first and second respectively.

Note that we used f after the number. This ensures that the number is a float, otherwise it will be assigned as a double type.

Then use multiplication*operator, and store the multiplication result of first and second in a new float variable product.

Finally, use the println() function to print the product result on the screen.
