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.
