### Currency Conversion
JavaScript arithmetic works with numeric values stored in variables. A clear solution reads the needed values, computes the formula with `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` or `**`, and prints only the final result.

Hints
+
['Write the formula using named intermediate values if it contains more than one operation.', 'Verify the accumulator initial value and both loop boundaries; this is where off-by-one errors most often appear.']
ANSWER
Solution
+
const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf8').trimEnd();
let [amount, rate] = input.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).map(Number);
let result = amount * rate;
console.log(Number.isInteger(result) ? result.toFixed(1) : result);
