Solution: Parsing a Boolean Expression

Explore how to parse and evaluate nested boolean expressions by using a stack-based method. Learn to handle logical NOT, AND, and OR operators, and reliably compute the final boolean result from a valid input expression. This lesson helps you implement stack operations to manage subexpressions, pop values correctly, and apply logical rules, preparing you for similar problems in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a string, expression, that represents a boolean expression. The expression can take one of the following forms:

  • 't': Represents the boolean value TRUE.

  • 'f': Represents the boolean value FALSE.

  • '!(expr)': Represents a NOT operation applied to a subexpression expr. It returns the logical negation of expr.

  • '&(expr1, expr2, ..., exprN)': Represents an AND operation over one or more subexpressions. It returns TRUE only if all subexpressions evaluate to TRUE. ...
