can I perform multiplication without multiplication operator" * " in javascript -

i need multiply 2 numbers in javascript ,but need without multiplication operator "*".is possible?

function a(b,c){return b*c;}  note:need without "*" operator 

yes. because multiplication addition done multiple times. have meaningful signatures methods instead of using single alphabets.

function multiply(num, times){    // todo if times 0    // todo if times negative    var n = num;    for(var = 1; < times; i++)       num += n; // increments    return num; }
