Earlier we had discussed how to evaluate prefix expression where operands are of single-digit. In this article, we will discuss how to evaluate prefix expression for any number ( not necessarily single digit.) Prefix notation is a notation for writing arithmetic expressions in which the operands appear after their operators. Let’s assume the below Operands … Read more Evaluation of Prefix Expressions (Polish Notation) | Set 2
