# *(_:_:)

Calculates the spherical linear interpolation between the identity rotation and the LHS rotation at the RHS interpolation parameter.

## Declaration

```swift
static func * (lhs: Rotation3DFloat, rhs: Float) -> Rotation3DFloat
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: The rotation
- `rhs`: The interpolation parameter.

## Discussion

Discussion For example, multiplying an angle of 90° by 0.5, returns an angle of 45°:  let rotation = Rotation3DFloat(angle: Angle2DFloat(degrees: 90),                            axis: .init(x: 0, y: 1, z: 0))  let rotated = (rotation * 0.5).angle.degrees  print(rotated) // prints "45.0" Note This function returns the longest path where the angle is greater than 180°,
