Conversion of infix string to postfix and evaluation of postfix string to make a simple calculator application in C++.

1. Add “(“ at the beginning and “)” at the end of an 

infix expression Q.
2. Scan Q from left to right and repeat 

step 3 to step 6.
3  If an operand is encountered, add it into postfix P.
4. If a left parenthesis is encountered, 

push it onto the stack S
5. If and operator op is encountered then,
(a) Repeatedly pop from stack S and add 

it to postfix each operator which has 
same precedence as or higher precedence than op.
(b) Add op to Stack S.
6. If a right parenthesis is encountered, then
(a) Repeatedly pop from stack S and add 

it to postfix each operator until left parenthesis is encountered on stacks.
(b) Remove the left parenthesis.

1. Scan postfix P from left to right and repeat 

step 2 and 3 for each elements of P until the

 NULL character or other symbol is encountered.
2. If an operand is encountered then push it on to the stack.
3. If an operator op is encountered, then
(a) Remove the top elements of stack S where A is the

 top element and B is next top element
(b) Evaluate B op A
(c) Place the result back onto the stack S
(d) Return top of the stack which is required

 result for our calculation
