Question

Get two positive integers from the user. Write code to multiply the two numbers together using only addition or subtraction. You should not use the '*' operator. Remember that x*y is simply x+x+x+...+x, y times. You may use eitnher a for loop or a while loop

Answer 1

number1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))

number2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))

result = 0

for i in range(number1):

result += number2

print(str(result))

Step-by-step explanation:

Ask the user for two numbers

Initialize result as 0 to hold the multiplication of the numbers

Create a for loop that iterates "number1" times. In each iteration, add number2 to the result.

When the loop is done, print the result
