You will see in Algebra the use of Asterisks and dots for multiplication. So,

5 * 5 = 25

9 * 9 = 81

---

local x = 5

local y = 8

print(x*y)

40

Sorry, forgot an operator and tabs came out slightly wrong. Fixed it:

+ addition
- subtraction/negate
* multiplication
/ division
^ exponents
% modulus
= assignment
== comparison (equivalence)
~= comparison (not equivalent)
> comparison (greater)
< comparison (less)
>= comparison (greater or equivalence)
<= comparison (less or equivalence)
# length of
and logical and
or logical or
not logical not

modulus? It's basically the remainder of division. Y'know, primary division lol.


5%2 is 1, because 2 goes into 5 twice, and there's 1 left over.

An asterisk also stands for "all" (or something) in Java
import package.*

So, he wasn't wrong asking about it.

Actually, it doesn't mean "all". It is a wildcard, in many situations. Not just Java.
For example, Roblox allows links to *.roblox.com to be posted, and they even use the wildcard in the ToS.
Many, many things use * as a wildcard.
