Question
Translating infix to postfix notation. An infix arithmetic expression consists of non-negative numbers, variables (identifiers), binary arithmetic operators +, -, * and / as well as parenthesis. Infix expressions are not necessarily fully parenthesized and usual operator preference and associativity apply. Write a program that translates infix arithmetic expressions to their postfix equivalent. Your program shall repeatedly request the user to input an expression and displays its postfix equivalent. Your program needs to detect as many syntax errors as possible.
Please do this in JAVA and use stacks
Explanation / Answer
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class intopost
{
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
{
String s;
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
stack b=new stack();
System.out.println("Enter input string");
s=br.readLine();
System.out.println("Input String:"+s);
System.out.println("Output String:");
b.postfix(s);
}
}
class stack
{
char stack1[]=new char[20];
int top;
void push(char ch)
{
top++;
stack1[top]=ch;
}
char pop()
{
char ch;
ch=stack1[top];
top--;
return ch;
}
int pre(char ch)
{
switch(ch)
{
case '-':return 1;
case '+':return 1;
case '*':return 2;
case '/':return 2;
}
return 0;
}
boolean operator(char ch)
{
if(ch=='/'||ch=='*'||ch=='+'||ch=='-')
return true;
else
return false;
}
boolean isAlpha(char ch)
{
if(ch>='a'&&ch<='z'||ch>='0'&&ch=='9')
return true;
else
return false;
}
void postfix(String str)
{
char output[]=new char[str.length()];
char ch;
int p=0,i;
for(i=0;i<str.length();i++)
{
ch=str.charAt(i);
if(ch=='(')
{
push(ch);
}
else if(isAlpha(ch))
{
output[p++]=ch;
}
else if(operator(ch))
{
if(stack1[top]==0||(pre(ch)>pre(stack1[top]))||stack1[top]=='(')
{
push(ch);
}
}
else if(pre(ch)<=pre(stack1[top]))
{
output[p++]=pop();
push(ch);
}
else if(ch=='(')
{
while((ch=pop())!='(')
{
output[p++]=ch;
}
}
}
while(top!=0)
{
output[p++]=pop();
}
for(int j=0;j<str.length();j++)
{
System.out.print(output[j]);
}
}
}
// Sample Output:
Enter input string
a+b*c
Input String:a+b*c
Output String:
abc*+
