The java.lang.Math.multiplyExact() is a built-in math function in java that returns the product of the arguments.It throws an exception if the result overflows an int. As multiplyExact(int a, int b) is static, so object creation is not required. 

Syntax:

public static int multiplyExact(int a, int b)
public static double multiplyExact(int a, double b)
Parameter :
 a : the first value
 b : the second value
Return :
This method returns the product of the arguments.
Exception :
It throws ArithmeticException - if the result overflows an int

Example: To show the working of java.lang.Math.multiplyExact() method. 

java




// Java program to demonstrate working
// of java.lang.Math.multiplyExact() method
 
import java.lang.Math;
 
class Gfg1 {
 
    // driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int a = 25, b = 5;
        System.out.println(Math.multiplyExact(a, b));
 
        long c = 100, d = 50;
        System.out.println(Math.multiplyExact(c, d));
    }
}


Output:

125
5000

java




// Java program to demonstrate working
// of java.lang.Math.multiplyExact() method
 
import java.lang.Math;
 
class Gfg2 {
 
    // driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int x = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        int y = 2;
 
        System.out.println(Math.multiplyExact(x, y));
    }
}


Output:

Runtime Error :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: integer overflow
    at java.lang.Math.multiplyExact(Math.java:867)
    at Gfg2.main(File.java:13)

Example:

Java




import java.io.*;
 
class GFG {
    // driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try {
            int x = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
            int y = 2;
            int result = Math.multiplyExact(x, y);
            System.out.println(x + " * " + y + " = "
                               + result);
        }
        catch (ArithmeticException e) {
            System.out.println(
                "Overflow occurred."); // print statement
        }
    }
}


Output:

Overflow occurred.
