Java Program to Multiply Two Numbers

When you start learning java programming, you get these type of problems in your assignment. Here we will see two Java programs, first program takes two integer numbers (entered by user) and displays the product of these numbers. The second program takes any two numbers (can be integer or floating point) and displays the result.

Example 1: Program to read two integer and print product of them

This program asks user to enter two integer numbers and displays the product. To understand how to use scanner to take user input, checkout this program: Program to read integer from system input.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        /* This reads the input provided by user
         * using keyboard
         */
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter first number: ");

        // This method reads the number provided using keyboard
        int num1 = scan.nextInt();
        
        System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
        int num2 = scan.nextInt();

        // Closing Scanner after the use
        scan.close();
        
        // Calculating product of two numbers
        int product = num1*num2;
        
        // Displaying the multiplication result
        System.out.println("Output: "+product);
    }
}

Output:

Enter first number: 15
Enter second number: 6
Output: 90

Example 2: Read two integer or floating point numbers and display the multiplication

In the above program, we can only integers. What if we want to calculate the multiplication of two float numbers? This programs allows you to enter float numbers and calculates the product.

Here we are using data type double for numbers so that you can enter integer as well as floating point numbers.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        /* This reads the input provided by user
         * using keyboard
         */
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter first number: ");

        // This method reads the number provided using keyboard
        double num1 = scan.nextDouble();
        
        System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
        double num2 = scan.nextDouble();

        // Closing Scanner after the use
        scan.close();
        
        // Calculating product of two numbers
        double product = num1*num2;
        
        // Displaying the multiplication result
        System.out.println("Output: "+product);
    }
}

Output:

Enter first number: 1.5
Enter second number: 2.5
Output: 3.75
