Algorithm to evaluate expression given in postfix notation , Data Structure & Algorithms

Assignment Help:

Q. Write down an algorithm to evaluate an expression given to you in postfix notation. Show the execution of your algorithm for the following given expression.

AB^CD-EF/GH+/+*                                                                               

Ans.

Algorithm to evaluate Post fix Expression is shown as follows

 

Opndstk = the empty stack;

/*scan the input string reading one */

/*element at a time into symb */

while ( not end of input){

symb  = next input character;

if (symb is an operand)

push (opndstk, symb);

else

{

/* symb is an operator */

opnd 2 = Pop (opnd stk);

opnd 1 = Pop (opnd stk);

value = result of applying symb to opnd 1 and opnd 2;

push (opndstk,value);

}/*end else */

}/*end while */

return (pop (opnd stk));
