This task has been clarified. Its programming examples are in need of review to ensure that they still fit the requirements of the task.
Task
Parsing/RPN to infix conversion
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Create a program that takes an RPN representation of an expression formatted as a space separated sequence of tokens and generates the equivalent expression in infix notation.

  • Assume an input of a correct, space separated, string of tokens
  • Generate a space separated output string representing the same expression in infix notation
  • Show how the major datastructure of your algorithm changes with each new token parsed.
  • Test with the following input RPN strings then print and display the output here.
RPN input sample output
3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / + 3 + 4 * 2 / ( 1 - 5 ) ^ 2 ^ 3
1 2 + 3 4 + ^ 5 6 + ^ ( ( 1 + 2 ) ^ ( 3 + 4 ) ) ^ ( 5 + 6 )
  • Operator precedence is given in this table:
operator precedence associativity
^ 4 Right
* 3 Left
/ 3 Left
+ 2 Left
- 2 Left


Note
  •   The (above) symbol   ^   indicates exponentiation.

</lang> The test program: <lang Ada> with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded; with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; with Generic_Stack;

procedure RPN_to_Infix is

  -- The code above

begin

  Put_Line ("3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / + = ");
  Put_Line (Convert ("3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +"));
  Put_Line ("1 2 + 3 4 + ^ 5 6 + ^ = ");
  Put_Line (Convert ("1 2 + 3 4 + ^ 5 6 + ^"));

end RPN_to_Infix; </lang> should produce the following output

3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / + = 
3 + 4 * 2 / (1 - 5) ^ (2 ^ 3)
1 2 + 3 4 + ^ 5 6 + ^ = 
((1 + 2) ^ (3 + 4)) ^ (5 + 6)

AWK

Slavishly (mostly) follows TCL example, but instead of lists it uses strings. Except for the stack, which uses an array, of course.

The kludge is prepending the precedence on the front of the expressions stored on the stack. This shows up when the tail() function is used, and when 'x' is prepended as a placeholder when adding parenthesis.

EchoLisp

For convenience, modularity, reusability, and the fun of it, we split the task into two parts. rpn->infix checks the rpn expression and builds an infix - lisp - tree (which can be the input of an infix calculator). infix->string takes a tree in input and builds the required string.

<lang scheme> (require 'hash) (string-delimiter "")

(define (^ a b ) (expt a b)) ;; add this not-native function (define-syntax-rule (r-assoc? op) (= op "^")) (define-syntax-rule (l-assoc? op) (not ( = op "^" ))) (define PRECEDENCES (list->hash '(("+" . 2) ("-" . 2) ("*" . 3) ("/" . 3) ("//" . 3) ("^" . 4)) (make-hash)))

RPN vector or list -> infix tree -> (a op (b op c) d) ..

(define (rpn->infix rpn) (define S (stack 'S)) (for ((token rpn)) (if (procedure? token) (let [(op2 (pop S)) (op1 (pop S))] (unless (and op1 op2) (error "cannot translate expression" rpn)) (push S (list op1 token op2)) ) (push S token )) (writeln 'token (string token) 'stack (stack->list S))) (begin0 (pop S) ;; return (top S) (unless (stack-empty? S) (error "ill-formed rpn" rpn))) )

a node tree is (left op right) or a number

(define-syntax-id _.left (first _)) ; mynode.left expands to (first mynode) (define-syntax-id _.right (third _)) (define-syntax-id _.op (string (second _ ))) (define-syntax-rule (precedence node) (hash-ref PRECEDENCES (string (second node))))

(define (left-par? node) ; does lhs needs ( lhs ) ? (cond [(number? node.left) #f] [(< (precedence node.left) (precedence node)) #t] [(and (r-assoc? node.op) (= (precedence node.left) (precedence node))) #t] [else #f]))

infix tree -> char string

(define (infix->string node) (cond [(number? node) (string node)] [else (let [(lhs (infix->string node.left)) (rhs (infix->string node.right))] (when (left-par? node) (set! lhs (string-append "(" lhs ")"))) (when (right-par? node) (set! rhs (string-append "(" rhs ")"))) (string-append lhs " " node.op " " rhs))])) </lang>

Haskell

With a fold, using the accumulator as an expression stack, you can compile a tree that represents the entire expression. Then you can recursively put together the infix string, comparing precedences and left/right associativity to determine when parenthesis are necessary. Note that in this solution, we define addition and multiplication as having no associativity, since no matter which way you associate, they produce the same answer.

This solution is a rough translation of the solution provided on RubyQuiz, as linked above.

The stack structure has two elements for each stack entry: expression precedence and expression characters.

Required example:

Python

This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message.

Details: heredoc says rpn_to_infix('3 4 5 - *') gives '(3 - 4) * 5'. Correct answer is '3 * (4 - 5)'.

This example can also handle variables (x, y, pi, e, ...), variable negations('5 -4 +' -> '5 - 4' and '5 -4 -' -> '5 + 4'), and unary operators (abs, sqrt, exp, ln, log, sin, cos, tan).

The unary operators have the highest precedence.

To maintain consistency with Python '**' is used instead of '^'. <lang python>from math import log as ln from math import sqrt, log, exp, sin, cos, tan, pi, e from ast import literal_eval

Ruby

This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message.

Details: Fails with right-associativity of exponentiation. RPNExpression.new("5 6 ^ 7 ^").to_infix wrongly returns "5 ^ 6 ^ 7". Correct answer is "(5 ^ 6) ^ 7".

TXR

This solution is a little long because it works by translating RPN to fully parenthesized prefix (Lisp notation).

Also, it improves upon the problem slightly. Note that for the operators * and +, the associativity is configured asnil ("no associativity") rather than left-to-right. This is because these operators obey the associative property: (a + b) + c is a + (b + c), and so we usually write a + b + c or a * b * c without any parentheses, leaving it ambiguous which addition is done first. Associativity is not important for these operators.

The lisp-to-infix filter then takes advantage of this non-associativity in minimizing the parentheses.
