Program Plan Intro

Postfix notation

Program plan:

  • Import the required packages into the program.
  • In the Exercise20_14 class,
    • In the main() method,
      • Check length of the argument. If yes, display the error message.
      • Declare the variable.
      • The for loop executes until the length of arguments. If yes, evaluate the expression.
      • In try block, call evaluateExpression() method by passing the input expression.
      • In catch, block, catch the exception.
    • In the evaluateExpression() method.
      • Create an object for Stack.
      • Extract operands and operators.
      • The while loop executes until token to scan the expression. If yes,
        • Extract an expression.
        • Check whether the length of expression is equal to 0. If yes, continue the code.
        • Otherwise, check the expression. If yes, call processAnOperator() method.
        • Otherwise, Call push() method to push an operand into stack.
      • Return the result.
    • In the processAnOperator() method.
      • Check whether operator. If yes, perform the addition operation and push the result to stack.
      • Otherwise, check whether operator. If yes, perform the subtraction operation and push the result to stack.
      • Otherwise, check whether operator. If yes, perform the multiplication operation and push the result to stack.
      • Otherwise, check whether operator. If yes, perform the division operation and push the result to stack.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(True/False): Arrays are passed by reference to avoid copying them onto the stack
C programmingTopic: Stacks
(True/False): Passing by reference means that an argument’s address is stored on the runtime stack.
