You can treat them as unsigned numbers. Also, don't worry about
the result overflowing.

Albert
can the two words in memory correspond to negative numbers? or will they be
positive numbers? i.e. are we gonna have a case like -2 x -2 or -2 x 2 ?
thanks

No.. I guess not. It should still work on 15 bit unsigned numbers right?

Albert
Ok, I did write a program that multiplies the two as signed. So, do i have to
go back and write another one

Yes, we are ignoring overflow.
