The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:

5A	mul	Multiplies two values on the stack.

The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:

[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]

The mul instruction multiplies value1 by value2 and pushes the result on the stack. Integer operations silently truncate the upper bits on overflow.

See OpCodes.Mul_Ovf for an integer-specific multiply operation with overflow handling.

For floating-point types, 0 * infinity = NaN.

The following ILGenerator.Emit(OpCode) method overload can use the mul opcode:
