Given the following notations,

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction

Prefix: If the operator appears in an expression before the operands, it is referred to as a prefix expression. of the simplest type (operator operand1 operand2).

 

  • Reverse the order of reading the Prefix expression (from right to left)
    Push the symbol into the stack if it is an operand.
  • Pop two operands off the stack if indeed the symbol is just an operator.
  • Concatenate the two operands with the operator that comes after them to produce a string.
  • string = operator, operator2, and operand1
  • And then return the finished string to the stack.
  • Until the Prefix expression is finished, repeat the previous stages.
