Thanks guys...
In all the time I have written code a have assumed that hard coding the multiplication operator was the way to go. I had never even considered implicit multiplication in computer code at all but when I saw the expression in my OP I decided to try it out and true to form the results are there for all to see.
What we take for granted in our thought processes cannot be assumed in computer code.
Thanks mainly to C688 for his initial reply.
