Parsing/Shunting-yard algorithm
Given the operator characteristics and input from the Shunting-yard algorithm page and tables Use the algorithm to show the changes in the operator stack and RPN output as each individual token is processed.
- Assume an input of a correct, space separated, string of tokens
- Generate a space separated output string representing the RPN
- Test with the input string
'3 + 4 * 2 / ( 1 - 5 ) ^ 2 ^ 3'then print and display the output here. - Operator precedence is given in this table:
operator precedence associativity ^ 4 Right * 3 Left / 3 Left + 2 Left - 2 Left
- Extra credit
- Add extra text explaining the actions and an optional comment for the action on receipt of each token.
- Note
- the handling of functions and arguments is not required.
- See also
- Parsing/RPN calculator algorithm for a method of calculating a final value from this output RPN expression.
- Parsing/RPN to infix conversion.
