Objective Using Stack to evaluate expressions Traditionally
Objective: Using Stack to evaluate expressions
Traditionally, arithmetic expressions are written in infix notation, meaning that operator is placed between its operands in the form
<operand> <operator> <operand>
In a postfix expression, the operator comes after its two operands. Therefore, a postfix expression takes the form
<operand> <operand> <operator>
For a more complicated example, consider the following infix expression:
(3 * 4 – (2 + 5)) * 4 /2
The equivalent postfix expression is
3 4 * 2 5 + - 4 * 2 /
(a)Evaluate arithmetic Expression using two Stacks. One stack for operand and the other for operator. Using java.util.stack to write a java program to validate and calculate infix expression. The input data file is infix.dat. (2 points)
(b)Using java.util.Stack and java.util.StringTokenizer to write a java program to validate and calculate postfix expression. The input data file is postfix.dat (2 points)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//infix.dat
5 * 6 + 4
3 - 2 +
( 3 * 4 - (2 + 5)) * 4/2
10 + 6 * 11 -(3 *2 + 14)/2
2 * (12 + (3 + 5 ) * 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//postfix.dat
5 2 + 8 5 - *
2 4 - 5 2 * +
9 3 / 6 / 4 * 10 –
Solution
