print mul(5, 6)

Another advantage of macros is that they work with all types alike. For example, the above macro can be used both to multiply double values (like the function above), and to multiply int values (giving an int, which the function doesn't).

=={{header|C++}}==

Of course, both inline and template may be combined (the <tt>inline</tt> then has to follow the <tt>template&lt;...&gt;</tt>), but since templates have to be in the header anyway (while the standard allows them to be compiled separately using the keyword <tt>export</tt>, almost no compiler implements that), the compiler usually can inline the template even without the keyword.

This will return a scalar if given scalars, if given one- or two-dimensional arrays it will return the matrix-product of these arrays. E.g. if given two three-element one-dimensional arrays (i.e. vectors), this will return a 3x3 matrix.
