Whilst I was understanding the bits structure of binary values I did come across the page from here about how to do multiplication with binary values and thought that I might as well do it in c++ to understand abit more about the process.
The main part from that page above is
Rules of Binary Multiplication
- 0 x 0 = 0
- 0 x 1 = 0
- 1 x 0 = 0
- 1 x 1 = 1, and no carry or borrow bits
For example,
00101001
