@FreshPrinceness The nice thing about this method (or the partial products algorithm, for that matter), is that it makes absolutely no difference where you start. Just pick a place value and count the intersections. The numbers will line up, regardless.
@3der3 You'd just put a single line in the hundreds place, just like "100" has a single 1 in the hundreds place. The problem with the visual method is that it lacks a placeholder (like the zeros in 100), so you really have to be careful lining things up.
@numbcore That's actually a great idea. A few people have had questions about how to deal with "empty" spaces in the figure, and I think the dotted line would work very nicely as a placeholder.
Nice work, thanks for the clear explanation, this process has interested me for a while. By the way, what did you use in order to create this video? It's gorgeous.
@MrHn9296 You would just have to leave an empty space where the "zero line" would be, since that multiplication must result in 0 intersections. It's pretty much the same way we deal with that in numerals, except we have this nifty 0 symbol to use as a placeholder. If you want to improve this process, you could invent a placeholder symbol of your own for Vedic multiplication. Actually, that's a pretty good idea.
What i dont get is, where do i start counting the intersections ? like which do i start counting from? which side?

But how do i make it with a 100?
No line for the 0?

@ctlusto Interesting video. Maybe a dotted line for the zeros could be helpful?

@bruinburns13 Thanks. It just uses builds and transitions in Keynote. Nothing fancy.
