Hmmm, the Valentina docs surely don't, but the RB docs do; look under
"multiplication"... ;-)
It's often used since the value for the cache size is expected in bytes,
but you'd probably rather define it in kB or MB; since 1 kB is 1024
bytes, and 1 MB = 1024 kB, the term
3 * 1024 * 1024
is an easy way to set the cache to 3 MB, for which you could also write
3145728. There's no point in using a term like 3 * 2048 * 2048 (which
amounts to 12582912 bytes, or 12288 kB, or 12 MB), because it doesn't
make the thing more readable.
Cheers,
