How to convert an infix expression to postfix expression?


Levels of difficulty: / perform operation:

JAVA Program

import java.io.IOException;
public class InToPost {
	private Stack theStack;
	private String input;
	private String output = "";
	public InToPost(String in) {
		input = in;
		int stackSize = input.length();
		theStack = new Stack(stackSize);
	}
	public String doTrans() {
		for (int j = 0; j < input.length(); j++) {
			char ch = input.charAt(j);
			switch (ch) {
				case '+': 
				            case '-':
				            gotOper(ch, 1);
				break;
				case '*': 
				            case '/':
				            gotOper(ch, 2);
				break;
				case '(': 
				            theStack.push(ch);
				break;
				case ')': 
				            gotParen(ch);
				break;
				default: 
				            output = output + ch;
				break;
			}
		}
		while (!theStack.isEmpty()) {
			output = output + theStack.pop();
		}
		System.out.println(output);
		return output;
	}
	public void gotOper(char opThis, int prec1) {
		while (!theStack.isEmpty()) {
			char opTop = theStack.pop();
			if (opTop == '(') {
				theStack.push(opTop);
				break;
			} else {
				int prec2;
				if (opTop == '+' || opTop == '-')
				            prec2 = 1; else
				            prec2 = 2;
				if (prec2 < prec1) {
					theStack.push(opTop);
					break;
				} else
				            output = output + opTop;
			}
		}
		theStack.push(opThis);
	}
	public void gotParen(char ch) {
		while (!theStack.isEmpty()) {
			char chx = theStack.pop();
			if (chx == '(') 
			         break; else
			         output = output + chx;
		}
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	   throws IOException {
		String input = "1+2*4/5-7+3/6";
		String output;
		InToPost theTrans = new InToPost(input);
		output = theTrans.doTrans();
		System.out.println("Postfix is " + output + '\n');
	}
	class Stack {
		private int maxSize;
		private char[] stackArray;
		private int top;
		public Stack(int max) {
			maxSize = max;
			stackArray = new char[maxSize];
			top = -1;
		}
		public void push(char j) {
			stackArray[++top] = j;
		}
		public char pop() {
			return stackArray[top--];
		}
		public char peek() {
			return stackArray[top];
		}
		public boolean isEmpty() {
			return (top == -1);
		}
	}
}

Output

124*5/+7-36/+
Postfix is 124*5/+7-36/+
