Integer Multiplication
Input
Two n digit numbers x and y.
Output
;product.
Algorithm Space
In grade school we've been taught well defined set of rules to follow for integer multiplication.
Time complexity analysis of grade-school algorithm:
Given number A with n digits, and number B with y digits, for each number in y, we multiply with n. Then we add the numbers together.
This gives us a total of

Algorithm is not exactly intuitive so I wont go through it.
But the main idea is that the algorithm space is large, and there are different design methods to solve a problem.
Can be optimized to remove one recursive call, and increase its running time performance.
