cirq.mul

Returns lhs * rhs, or else a default if the operator is not implemented.

cirq.mul(
    lhs: Any, rhs: Any, default: Any = RaiseTypeErrorIfNotProvided
) -> Any

This method is mostly used by pow methods trying to return NotImplemented instead of causing a TypeError.

lhs Left hand side of the multiplication.
rhs Right hand side of the multiplication.
default Default value to return if the multiplication is not defined. If not default is specified, a type error is raised when the multiplication fails.

The product of the two inputs, or else the default value if the product is not defined, or else raises a TypeError if no default is defined.

TypeError lhs doesn't have mul or it returned NotImplemented AND lhs doesn't have rmul or it returned NotImplemented AND a default value isn't specified.
