Binary Multiplication
This is a method to find a*b in a time complexity of O(log b)
This is one of the most commonly used methods of finding result of multiplication.
Also useful in cases where solution to (a*b)%c is required,
where a,b,c can be numbers over the computers calculation limits.
Done using iteration, can also be done using recursion
Let's say you need to calculate a * b
RULE 1 : a * b = (a+a) * (b/2) ---- example : 4 * 4 = (4+4) * (4/2) = 8 * 2
RULE 2 : IF b is odd, then ---- a * b = a + (a * (b - 1)), where (b - 1) is even.
Once b is even, repeat the process to get a * b
Repeat the process until b = 1 or b = 0, because a*1 = a and a*0 = 0
As far as the modulo is concerned,
the fact : (a+b) % c = ((a%c) + (b%c)) % c
Now apply RULE 1 or 2, whichever is required.
