This is a code converting infix expressions to postfix expression and evaluates it. there is a problem, when i run it in ECLIPSE, it it displays this errors:

You have two threads on the same topic. Please mark one of them solved. Also, please use code tags.

[code=JAVA] // paste code here

[/code]

Huh? i don't get it.

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s);

Creates a StringTokenizer for the String s that uses whitespace (blanks, tabs, newlines, returns, form feeds) as delimiters.

But your input string: "4+4" < doesnt match with any of default delimiters. thats why its showing error.

If still cant get it. Im always here. :)

Use code tags to make your code readable.

http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement9-3.html

You don't need to start two threads on the exact same topic. It wastes time because people will respond to one thread, not knowing that someone else responded with the same comments to the other thread. Mark the other one solved and repost your code with code tags so it's readable please.

postfix = postfix + " " + (Integer.parseInt
(symbol));

This line is attempting to change the entire string to a number, not just the number part of the string. The string "4+4" is not a number, even though the charAt(0) is a digit...

Oh, you mean to add spaces in between?

Oh, you mean to add spaces in between?

yes, exactly. :)

it has some code smells, although it compiles.. can you help me again..

Stack is a raw type. References to generic type Stack<E> should be parameterized

Type safety: The method push(Object) belongs to the raw type Stack. References to generic type Stack<E> should be parameterized

k kinda figured out that i have to add spaces in between my mathematical expression.. it compiles.. my problem now is that it has some code smells.. i have to clean this job.. can you help me? tnx

commented: Duplicate threads. -1

How can I make this any clearer? You have two threads. One person has already commented on this thread, probably not knowing about the other. People are donating their time here. Be courteous enough not to waste people's time with duplicate threads.

Hello again,

Its working fine with me.

Enter the algebraic expression in infix: 4 + 4 * 2
The expression in postfix is: 4 4 2 * +
The answer to the equation is: 12

Only space is required.

If im still missing something. Please be more clear :)

Hello. thank you very much 4 the help you've given. going back to the code, what if i don't want to include spaces in between.. what changes should i make?

Used forloop instead of StringTokenizer for toPostfix method.

Hmmmmm.. sorry if ever waste your time sir! how do i marked my first thread SOLVED?!

Hmmmmmmm.. Sarcastic, aren't we? At the bottom of your thread, you can click "Mark as Solved". Someone has already merged the two threads though, so it's too late. However, when you feel that THIS thread is solved, you can click "Mark as Solved" on it. It'll be in blue letters at the bottom of the thread, right below the last post.

Thank you very much.. = ]
