Here is an example A+B/C*D-E+F I thought it was something like ABC/+ cd*ef+-??
If I work this back correctly it translates as: (A+B/C) (C*D)-(E+F) which seems to miss an operation? It also uses C twice. The first thing you need to do it work out how to put parens on the original to express the precedence precisely. Then the postfix format should pretty much drop out. Do you have access to an RPN calculator(emulator)? That will help you test it. If on *nix try xcalc -rpn HTH -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
