Problem: Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation
Explore how to evaluate a valid Reverse Polish Notation expression by using a stack data structure. Understand how to process operands and operators in a single pass, implement arithmetic operations, and manage intermediate results. This lesson helps you write efficient JavaScript code to solve RPN evaluation problems while grasping stack usage and time-space complexity.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an array of strings tokens representing a valid arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). Your task is to evaluate the expression and return an integer representing the value of the expression.
Note: The valid operators are
'+','-','*', and'/'.
Each operand may be an integer or another expression.
Division between two integers always truncates toward zero.
There will not be any division by zero.
The input is guaranteed to represent a valid arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.
The answer and all intermediate calculations can be represented in a‑bit integer.
Constraints:
tokens.lengthtokens[i]is either an operator:"+","-"...
