is this pseudocode correct for multiplying 2 integers without using the * function

Question

multi(int h, int i,int j)
{
j <- 0

If (h=0 || i=0)
return 0;

Else if (i>0)
For (int k=0, k<i,k++){
Return j = j+h
}
}

Answer 1

It is not quite correct. Because the return statement is inside the loop, it exits immediately during the first iteration and never gets to do a second iteration.

Also, it does not handle the case when i<0.

Answer 2

// for i>0:

multi(int h, int i) { // two parameters
j = 0

If (h=0 || i=0)
return 0;

Else if (i>0)
For (int k=0, k<i, k++){
j = j+h
}
return j //return here
}
