Answer

Get values for a and b If (either a > 10,000 or b > 10,000) then $\ \ \ \ $ Print ‘Please use a more efficient multiplication algorithm’ Else $\ \ \ \ $ If (either a = 0 or b = 0) then $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ Set the value of product to 0 $\ \ \ \ $ Else $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ Set the value of count to 0 $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ Set the value of product to 0 $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ While (count < b) do $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ $\ \ \ \ $ Set the value of product to (product + a) $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ $\ \ \ \ $ Set the value of count to (count + 1) $\ \ \ \ $$\ \ \ \ $ End of the loop $\ \ \ \ $ Print the value of product Stop
