7. The following function converts a postfix expression to an infix expression assuming the
expression can only contain unsigned integer numbers and +' and -' operators.

2.
String operand1, operand2, infix;
3.
Stack<String> s = new AStack<String>;
4.
int i = 0;
5.
while (i < postfix.length) {
char nextc = postfix.charAt (i);
if ((nextc

(a) Rewrite only the lines of code that need to be changed so that the above function converts a
postfix expression to a prefix expression.
(b) Describe in words what changes are needed on the above given convert () function so that it
also finds the value of the converted postfix expression.
