Area of Rectangle

Compute the area of a rectangle from its width and height.

arithmetic function numbers

Write a function `rectangle_area(width, height)` that returns the area of a rectangle. The area is calculated as `width * height`. The inputs will always be non-negative integers or floats. The function must return the exact product as a number (int or float).

Constraints

- 0 <= width, height <= 10^9
- Inputs are int or float.
- The result may be a float if either input is a float.

Example

>>> rectangle_area(5, 4)
20
>>> rectangle_area(3.5, 2)
7.0
>>> rectangle_area(0, 10)
0

Hints

Use the multiplication operator `*`.

The function should accept two arguments and return a single value.

No need to convert types; just multiply the inputs directly.
