Python: How to create a multiply function?

How to create a multiply function in Python?
To create a multiply function in Python, define a new function that returns the product of the multiplication. 
Or use the mul() function in the operator module.

define multiply function
To create a multiply function in Python, define the function as shown below.


# define multiply function in python
def multiply(a, b):
   return a * b

# call the multiply function
result = multiply(2, 2)

# print result
print(result)


The multiply function is defined. 
Then the function is called, with the arguments 2 and 2. The result is assigned to the variable result.
Finally, the result is printed.

import mul()
Instead of creating your own multiply function in Python, use the mul() function in the operator module.


# import mul from operator module
from operator import mul

# call mul() function
print(mul(2, 2))


In this example, mul is imported form the operator module. Then the mul() function is called, with the arguments 2 and 2.
Finally, the result is printed.
