Can anyone tell me how to make a simple program that finds product of two floating point numbers without using " * " operator?

Can anyone tell me how to make a simple program that finds product of two floating point numbers without using " * " operator?

x*y = x/(1/y)

 

[Hamdan]

x*y = x/(1/y)

Can't use this even. Its still reciprocated multiplication.

3 × 5 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 5 + 5 + 5

The claim they have to be "floating point" implies division.
3.148 meters is 3 meters plus 148/1000 of a meter.
Either division -- and thus also multiplication -- are allowed or they are not.

ln(x)+ln(y)
Then raise e to that power.
Careful with zeroes and negative numbers.
