For a while now, FatalEagle has been thinking about fast multiplication. He found the problem on SPOJ, MUL, and solved it without too much trouble. Then he found VFMUL on the same site, but the same code for MUL didn't pass as the SPOJ servers were really slow. Frustrated and desperate to show off demonstrate his fast multiplication code, FatalEagle has created a problem that really tests the accuracy and speed of your fast multiplication code.

Input Specification

The first line of input will have A.

The second line of input will have B.

Both A and B will be non-negative integers strictly less than 10^{1\,000\,001}.

Output Specification

Output the product A \times B.

    It's possible to cheese solve this problem using GMP.

    Any pointers on how to do this in C++ without getting a TLE?

    I wrote the entire code on my IDE for java only to realize it doesn't allow it..... ;(

    Hmmm. Is it possible for you to allow Lua on this question? Or is it not possible?

    So close... any tips on improving Karatsuba?

      Well Karatsuba was not the intended solution...

        Yeah I initially wanted to implement FFT but it didn't quite workout, any idea on how to avoid overflow in NTT, choosing a modulo bigger then 2^{32} then multiplication overflows but if I choose a modulo smaller then 2^{32}(for example 7\cdot2^{26}+1) then the result is incorrect (or I can take base b=10 which TLE's).

      Funny thing; I was reading the Java BigInteger documentation, and the fastest multiplication method would take 6 seconds on a worst case.

      That is precisely why Java is disallowed.

        Couldn't we disable bigInteger and bigDecimal like a + b hard?

          There exists a certain com.sun.media.sound.FFT, which would trivialize the problem. As we currently do not trivially support the banning of arbitrary packages, Java will continue to be banned.

      My Karatsuba pass the tests, even faster than some FFTs implementations.
