Prefix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear after their operators. There are no precedence rules to learn. Let’s assume the below Operands are real numbers in real digits. (Later we will Enhance the solution for any number) Permitted operators: +,-, *, /, ^(exponentiation) Blanks are NOT permitted in … Read more
Earlier we had discussed how to evaluate postfix expressions where operands are of single-digit. In this article, we will discuss how to evaluate postfix expressions for any number ( not necessarily single digit.) Postfix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear before their operators. Let’s assume the below Operands … Read more
Postfix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear before their operators. There are no precedence rules to learn, and parentheses are never needed. Because of this simplicity. Let’s assume the below Operands are real numbers in single digits. (Read: Evaluation of Postfix Expressions for any Number ) Permitted operators: … Read more
Objective: Given an arithmetic expression, write an algorithm to find out whether the expression contains duplicate parenthesis. Duplicate Parenthesis: Two contiguous parentheses with no elements between them can be called as duplicate parenthesis. Example: Input: A/(B+C)*D Output: No duplicate parenthesis found. Input: A/(B+C)*D/((E+F)) Output: duplicate parenthesis found Approach: Use Stack Iterate the given expression from … Read more

Infix notation is commonly used in arithmetic formula or statements, the operators are written in-between their operands. Let’s assume the below Operands are real numbers. Permitted operators: +,-, *, /, ^(exponentiation) Blanks are permitted in expression. Parenthesis are permitted Example: A * ( B + C ) / D 2 * (5 + 3) / … Read more
Infix, Postfix and Prefix notations are most common ways of writing expressions. Infix notation: Example: (A+B) Infix notation is commonly used in arithmetic formula or statements, the operators are written in-between their operands. An expression such as A * ( B + C ) / D is solved as: First add B and C. Multiply … Read more
