### Multiply Two Numbers
JavaScript arithmetic works with numeric values stored in variables. A clear solution reads the needed values, computes the formula with `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` or `**`, and prints only the final result.

Hints

['Write the formula using named intermediate values if it contains more than one operation.', 'If you use slicing or position search, verify the range boundaries and the case where the target fragment is at an edge of the string.']
ANSWER
Solution
+
const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf8').trimEnd();
let [a, b] = input.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).map(Number);
let result = a * b;
console.log(result);
