Imagine you are in 3012 Anno Domini, when everyone must learn how to multiply,
and competing for the highly prestigious post of,
Chief Comptroller of Ylpitlum Corporation.
You are being tested via MATLAB Cody for multiplication of two positive integers X and Y,
both are fortunately in decimal system, and only a few dozen digits or less,
and delivered as ASCII strings.
Please output the result Z in similar style.
Please adopt a general strategy, as X and Y may be changed later.
Please rename the function Z = ylpitlum(X,Y).
Function Template:
function Z = ylpitlum(X,Y)
   %  098765432109876543210987654321098765432109876543210987654321
   X='170000000000000000000000000000';
   Y='190000000000000000000000000000';
   Z='32300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000';
end

it seems there's an erroneous test case. the second test case has this line in it: Assert(isequal(P,PBM(B,M))), but there's no P or PBM
