Detailed explanation-1: -Operators are symbols that perform operations on variables and values. For example, + is an operator used for addition, while * is also an operator used for multiplication.
Detailed explanation-2: -Presumably, the asterisk was chosen-presumably because it was the non-alphanumeric symbol that most-closely resembled the customary symbol that denoted multiplication, whereas the letter X could not be used, since FORTRAN used letters of the alphabet for symbolic variable names of variables and unknowns.
Detailed explanation-3: -These symbols have the same meaning; commonly × is used to mean multiplication when handwritten or used on a calculator 2 × 2, for example. The symbol * is used in spreadsheets and other computer applications to indicate a multiplication, although * does have other more complex meanings in mathematics.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most common symbol for multiplication is “x”. For example 5x3 means 5 multiplied by 3, which gives value as 15. The symbol “x” can be confusing with letter x, if the variable x is also used. Sometimes period or dot or ”.” is used a a symbol for multiplication.
