> Yeah right! It's not the same. Do you even know how postfix works? you need a stack and a queue... postfix eliminates the parenthesis but doesnt eliminate how you apply the associative, distribuatative, etc properties of a given expression.... its depends how you integrate that on your postfix algorithm... am i satisfy you? > Do > you understand why > sacha seems to think that postfix is the way to go to solve the problem? yes of course... there are lots of ways to skin a cat... how about you? > >yes there is a finite > >rule here.. it just knowing the associative , distributative, etc properties > >of a given expression... but hey, this problem can be easily solve if we > >spend time on this but take note , this problem cannot apply in our daily > >lives.. in short its a useless problem!... > > > How do you know its useless?
