For example, if the user enters 7 * 4 I want it to output 7 * 4 = 28
Instead of
7* 4
=28
I've been looking for a couple hours and haven't found anything. Thanks for any help in advance.
public class RecursiveMultiplication
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Console console = System.console();
String input[] = new String[2];
String multiplicand, multiplier;
int product;
while(true)
{
input = console.readLine("?> ").split("\\D+");
multiplicand = input[0];
multiplier = input[1];
product = multiply(Integer.parseInt(multiplicand), Integer.parseInt(multiplier));
console.printf(" = %d", product);
}
}
public static int multiply(int multiplicand, int multiplier){
if(multiplier == 0)
return 0;
if(multiplier % 2 == 0)
return multiplicand + multiplicand + multiply(multiplicand, multiplier - 2);
return multiplicand + multiply(multiplicand, --multiplier);
}
}
