# operator * method

Point<T> operator * (num factor)

Scale this point by `factor` as if it were a vector.

Important Note: This function accepts a `num` as its argument only so that you can scale Point objects by an `int` factor. Because the star operator always returns the same type of Point that originally called it, passing in a double `factor` on a `Point<int>` causes a runtime error in checked mode.

## Implementation

    Point<T> operator *(num /*T|int*/ factor) {
      return Point<T>((x * factor), (y * factor));
    }
