Code explanation
-
Lines 10–13: We create some decimal variables,
decimalNumberOne,decimalNumberTwo,decimalNumberThree, anddecimalNumberFour. Then, we initialize them with some values. -
Line 16: We use the
Decimal.Multiply()method to multiplydecimalNumberOnewithdecimalNumberTwoand print the result. -
Line 17: We use the
Decimal.Multiply()method to multiplydecimalNumberThreewithdecimalNumberFourand print the result.
