# *(_:_:)

Multiplies two values and produces their product, rounding to a representable value.

## Declaration

```swift
static func * (lhs: Float80, rhs: Float80) -> Float80
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: The first value to multiply.
- `rhs`: The second value to multiply.

## Discussion

Discussion The multiplication operator (*) calculates the product of its two arguments. For example: let x = 7.5 let y = x * 2.25 // y == 16.875 The * operator implements the multiplication operation defined by the IEEE 754 specification.
