Thanks for the fast reply !<br />
My colleague gave up in looking for more details about the low level functions of the CPU :)

Hello,<br />
My colleague asked me a very good question about how is done on the very low level a multiplication. And then what is the difference between a multiplication of int and float (both 32 bits).<br />
I guess this depends on which compiler is used but I don't have more clues.<br />
Since my assembly class was so long time ago, I am looking for help !<br />
Thanks !

C multiplication -&gt; float/int

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
