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.

C Programming | error: stdio.h: No such file or directory

I was trying to write a simple program in c and it kept on showing the following error whenever i tried to compile it

“error: stdio.h: No such file or directory”

After a little googling I found that C standard libraries are stored in libc6-dev, This want installed in my machine. Installing libc6-dev solved the problem.

To intall libc6-dev In ubnutu type in the follwoing in the terminal

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
