Returns the BigDecimal product of self and value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is less than the number of significant digits in the sum, the sum is rounded to that number of digits, according to the current rounding mode; see BigDecimal.mode.
Examples:
Example
# Set the rounding mode. BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE, :half_up) b = BigDecimal('555555.555') b.mult(3, 0) # => 0.1666666665e7 b.mult(3, 3) # => 0.167e7 b.mult(3, 6) # => 0.166667e7 b.mult(3, 15) # => 0.1666666665e7 b.mult(3.0, 0) # => 0.1666666665e7 b.mult(Rational(3, 1), 0) # => 0.1666666665e7 b.mult(Complex(3, 0), 0) # => (0.1666666665e7+0.0i)
