evaluate expression using stack code example
Example: evaluate reverse polish notation gfg
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String[] tokens = new String[] { "2", "1", "+", "3", "*" };
System.out.println(evalRPN(tokens));
}
public static int evalRPN(String[] tokens) {
int returnValue = 0;
String operators = "+-*/";
Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();
for (String t : tokens) {
if (!operators.contains(t)) {
stack.push(t);
} else {
int a = Integer.valueOf(stack.pop());
int b = Integer.valueOf(stack.pop());
switch (t) {
case "+":
stack.push(String.valueOf(a + b));
break;
case "-":
stack.push(String.valueOf(b - a));
break;
case "*":
stack.push(String.valueOf(a * b));
break;
case "/":
stack.push(String.valueOf(b / a));
break;
}
}
}
returnValue = Integer.valueOf(stack.pop());
return returnValue;
}
}
