num1, num2 -> largest(num1, num2)
int, STRING -> STRING
Multiplies two numeric values, or repeat a string.
If the two operands are numeric, then the result type is the largest of the operand types.
Alternatively, can also be used to repeat a string if the first operand is an integer and the second a string. In that case the return type is a string.
