Multiplication
OperatorMultiplies one numeric value with another (expression)
The Multiplication Operator takes the left hand number and right hand values and multiplies them together in an expression.

out (3*2)

Because shells are historically untyped, you cannot always guarantee that a numeric-looking value isn’t a string. To solve this problem, by default Murex assumes anything that looks like a number is a number when performing addition.
» str = "2"
» int = 3
» $str + $int
1
For occasions when type safety is more important than the convenience
of silent data casting, you can disable the above behaviour via
config
(read

» config set proc strict-types true
» $str + $int
