convert infix to postfix using stack code example
Example 1: Infix to postfix converstion using stack
/*
Infix to postfix conversion in C++
Input Postfix expression must be in a desired format.
Operands and operator, both must be single character.
Only '+' , '-' , '*', '/' and '$' (for exponentiation) operators are expected.
