multiplying two objects

[apiwowar]

Thers a class called BigInt and it has a size and digit. size is the number of digits in the integer that is entered and digit is an array that holds the integer.

I have to write a method that multiplies them. I tried using two for loops to go through each index and multiply them. I think one of my problems is that im storing the product too soon or just wrong.

any help or a push in the right direction would be appreciated.

this is what i have so far

	// multiply two BigInts 
   public BigInt times(BigInt other) 
	{ 
		//Declare i and initialize carry
		int i,j, temp;
		int carry = 0;
		//create product object 
   	BigInt product = new BigInt();
		//set size of product
		product.size = this.size + other.size;
	
		//Loops to run through elements of array and multiply
		for(i = this.size; i >= 0; i--)
		{
			for(j = other.size; j >= 0; j--)
			{
				temp = this.digit[i] * other.digit[j];
				product.digit[i+j] = temp % 10;
				carry = temp / 10; 
			System.out.println(i + " Temp is " + temp);
			System.out.println("sum.digit[" + i +"] is " + product.digit[i]);
			
			}
		}
		return product;
		 
	}
