Description

In JavaScript, you can also perform calculations with decimal numbers, just like whole numbers. Let's multiply two decimals together to get their product.

Instructions

Change the 0.0 so that product will equal 5.0.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The variable <code>product</code> should equal <code>5.0</code>.
    testString: assert(product === 5.0, 'The variable <code>product</code> should equal <code>5.0</code>.');
  - text: You should use the <code>*</code> operator
    testString: assert(/\*/.test(code), 'You should use the <code>*</code> operator');

Challenge Seed

var product = 2.0 * 0.0;

After Test

(function(y){return 'product = '+y;})(product);

Solution

var product = 2.0 * 2.5;
