Hi, I wrote a program to input an INFIX convert it to POSTFIX and then evaluate it. But the function 'evaluarRPN' used for evaluate POSTFIX some time work and some time not, depend of the input.
For example:
(8*9-8/5+6)*(5-9) = -305, but the program display -308
(8+9) = 17, display 17, here work fine...

Any suggestion? Thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stack>
#include <cctype>  //alnum
#include <cassert> //assert
using namespace std;
#include <sstream>

string  infixTOposfix(string);
int evaluarRPN(string);

int main ()
{ // main began

string infix,
       posfixWspaces,
       dummy;
int result;
char repeat;

do {
cout << "\nPlease enter the expression in INFIX: ";

getline(cin,infix);
posfixWspaces = infixTOposfix(infix);

cout << "This is the expression in POSTFIX: " << posfixWspaces << endl;

result = evaluarRPN(posfixWspaces);
cout << "The expression after the evaluation: " << result;

cout << "\nDo you want to repeat? Enter 'y' ";
cin >> repeat;
getline(cin,dummy);
} while ( repeat == 'y');

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
} // main end

You are doing integer math, change to floating point instead (i.e. from int to double or float).

You are right. Thanks!!
