fmul

fmul

Forms
fmul = 106 (0x6a)

Stack
..., value1, value2 ..., result

Description
Both value1 and value2 must be of type float. The values are popped from the operand stack. The float result is value1 * value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

The result of an fmul instruction is governed by the rules of IEEE arithmetic:

• If either value is NaN, the result is NaN.
• If neither value is NaN, the sign of the result is positive if both values have the same sign, and negative if the values have different signs.
• Multiplication of an infinity by a zero results in NaN.
• Multiplication of an infinity by a finite value results in a signed infinity, with the sign-producing rule just given.
