hey guys im trying to write a simple caclculator. i have written the code and the functions for it but the the main when i try to use the Scanner function to get user input and to put it all together it does not work. the code is below i have to get the user input and if they call functions parse, convert and eval to do it. if they use p then the numbers then it it is in postfix and if it is a number to jsut evaluated and q exits it. can some1 help me with this. the code is posted below and the explanation is atached.

1)Just because you are in a hurry makes no difference to us. You should have thought about that then perhaps you wouldn't have missed your deadline (23 March).:eek:

2)What I also found amusing is how your school cites wiki as a reference. I mean come on, use something more reliable for pity sake!:lol:

3) Have you even attempted to debug it. I.e add watches to find out where it is going wrong?

4) A complete answer albeit in c++ was provided earlier by me. Why you decided to start another thread, I don't know. :rolleyes:

If you have managed to separate your expression into tokens successfully then all you need to convert that expression into postfix is the following:-

bool Equation::TakesPrecedence(char OperatorA, char OperatorB)
{
   if (OperatorA == '(')
      return false;
   else if (OperatorB == '(')
      return false;
   else if (OperatorB == ')')
      return true;
   else if ((OperatorA == '^') && (OperatorB == '^'))
      return false;
   else if (OperatorA == '^')
      return true;
   else if (OperatorB == '^')
      return false;
   else if ((OperatorA == '*') || (OperatorA == '/'))
      return true;
   else if ((OperatorB == '*') || (OperatorB == '/'))
      return false;
   else
      return true;   
}

void Equation::Convert(const string & Infix, string & Postfix)
{
   stack <char> OperatorStack;
   char TopSymbol, Symbol;
   int k;

   for (k = 0; k < Infix.size(); k++)
   {
      Symbol = Infix[k];
      if (IsOperand(Symbol))
         Postfix = Postfix + Symbol;
      else
      {
         while ((! OperatorStack.empty()) &&
            (TakesPrecedence(OperatorStack.top(), Symbol)))
            {
            TopSymbol = OperatorStack.top();
            OperatorStack.pop();
            Postfix = Postfix + TopSymbol;
            }
         if ((! OperatorStack.empty()) && (Symbol == ')'))
            OperatorStack.pop();   // discard matching (
         else
            OperatorStack.push(Symbol);
      }
   }

   while (! OperatorStack.empty())
   {
      TopSymbol = OperatorStack.top();
      OperatorStack.pop();
      Postfix = Postfix + TopSymbol;
   }
}

Your teacher has kindly omitted the need for unary expressions. If you're smart you'll look again at my code.

Evaluating the postfix notation is a piece of cake.

the deadline is not really march 23rd i didnt miss it. i have already done from infix to postfix that is the convert function created. what i am having problem with is constructing my main. i cannot use the debugger since i cant construct the main properly so it runs.

That's basic class design. You should have notes about creating a constructor etc... Anyway, I'm off to bed.
