## Problem 2: Multiplying Two Base 2 Numbers using an Algorithm in Python or R

### Task Description:
Write a program in a language of your choice (preferably Python or R) to multiply two positive integers using the following algorithm.

### Algorithm to Perform Multiplication:

```plaintext
procedure multiply(a, b: positive integers)
  {the binary expansions of a and b are (a_n-1 a_n-2 ... a1 a0)₂ and (b_n-1 b_n-2 ... b1 b0)₂, respectively}
  for j := 0 to n - 1
    if b_j = 1 then c_j := a shifted j places
    else c_j := 0
  {c₀, c₁, ..., c_n-1 are the partial products}
  p := 0
  for j := 0 to n - 1
    p := p + c_j
  return p {p is the value of ab}
```

### Explanation:
1. **Binary Expansion**: The numbers `a` and `b` are represented in their binary formats.
2. **Iterate through Digits of b**:
   - For each bit `b_j` of `b`:
     - If `b_j` is 1, then calculate the partial product `c_j` by shifting `a` left by `j` positions.
     - If `b_j` is 0, then the partial product `c_j` is 0.
3. **Sum Partial Products**: The final product `p` is obtained by summing all the partial products `c_j`.
4. **Return the Result**: The result `p` is the multiplication of `a` and `b`.

### Diagrammatic Representation:
Figure 2: Multiplying two base 2 numbers.

This algorithm effectively leverages the properties of binary numbers to perform the multiplication by bitwise shifts and accumulation.

By following this algorithm, you can implement a program to perform binary multiplication in any programming language of your choice, such as Python or R.
