//Statement - You have to find out the product of two intergers without using "*" (multiplication) operator

//Application of shift operator to solve the problem

//Importing header files
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

//Function to calculate the product
int multiply(int n, int m)
{
  int product = 0;
  int counter = 0;
  while (m)
  {
    if (m % 2 == 1)
    {
      product += n << counter;
    }
    counter++;
    m=m>>1;
  }
  return product;
}

int main()
{
  int a, b;
  //Accepting the numbers from the user
  cout << "Enter first number- ";
  cin >> a;
  cout << "Enter second number- ";

  //Printing the final result
  cout << "Product of the two numbers- " << multiply(a, b);
