Solution: Evaluate Postfix Expression Using a Stack
Explore how to evaluate arithmetic expressions written in postfix notation using a stack. Understand how to process operators and operands step-by-step, apply operations correctly, and implement the solution efficiently in Java with O(n) time and space complexity.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given a string, exp, represents an arithmetic expression in a
exp and return the resulting integer value.
The rules are given below:
The valid operators are
'+','-','*', and'/'.Each operand may be an integer or another expression.
The division between two integers always truncates toward zero.
There will not be any division by zero.
The input represents a valid arithmetic expression in a postfix notation.
The answer and all the intermediate calculations can be represented in a 32-bit integer.
Each digit is considered to be a separate number, i.e., there are no double digit numbers.
