Program to convert infix expression to postfix in C | Shunting yard algorithm

This program is a implementation of shunting yard algorithm to convert an infix expression to post fix expression, This is a extension of the stack program published earlier

Algorithm:(Taken from wikipedia)

• While there are tokens to be read:

• Read a token .
• If the token is a number, then add it to the output queue.
• If the token is a function token, then push it onto the stack.
• If the token is a function argument separator (e.g., a comma):

• Until the topmost element of the stack is a left parenthesis, pop the element from the stack and push it onto the output queue. If no left parentheses are encountered, either the separator was misplaced or parentheses were mismatched.

• If the token is an operator, o₁, then:

• while there is an operator, o₂, at the top of the stack, and either

o₁ is associative or left-associative and its precedence is less than (lower precedence) or equal to that of o₂, or

o₁ is right-associative and its precedence is less than (lower precedence) that of o₂,

pop o₂ off the stack, onto the output queue;

• push o₁ onto the stack.

• If the token is a left parenthesis, then push it onto the stack.
• If the token is a right parenthesis:

• Until the token at the top of the stack is a left parenthesis, pop operators off the stack onto the output queue.
• Pop the left parenthesis from the stack, but not onto the output queue.
• If the token at the top of the stack is a function token, pop it and onto the output queue.
• If the stack runs out without finding a left parenthesis, then there are mismatched parentheses.

• When there are no more tokens to read:

• While there are still operator tokens in the stack:

• If the operator token on the top of the stack is a parenthesis, then there are mismatched parenthesis.
• Pop the operator onto the output queue.

• Exit.
