 By translating Java code into math, we obtain the following mathematical definition of $f$: By translating Java code into math, we obtain the following mathematical definition of $f$:
  
-\[+\begin{equation*}
     f(x,y) = \left\{\begin{array}{rl}     f(x,y) = \left\{\begin{array}{rl}
 0, & \mbox{ if } y = 0 \\ 0, & \mbox{ if } y = 0 \\
Line 27: Line 27:
 x + f(x,y-1), & \mbox{ if } y > 0, \mbox{ and } y=2k+1 \mbox{ for some } k \\ x + f(x,y-1), & \mbox{ if } y > 0, \mbox{ and } y=2k+1 \mbox{ for some } k \\
 \end{array}\right. \end{array}\right.
-\]+\end{equation*}
  
 By induction on $y$ we then prove $f(x,y) = x \cdot y$. By induction on $y$ we then prove $f(x,y) = x \cdot y$.

 This completes the proof. This completes the proof.
