Solution: Evaluate Postfix Expression Using a Stack

Explore the method to evaluate postfix arithmetic expressions using a stack data structure. Understand operand handling, operator application, and stepwise processing to convert postfix notation into an integer result, reinforcing stack usage skills essential for coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a string, exp, represents an arithmetic expression in a postfix notationpostfix. Evaluate 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.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq ...
