I'm not sure if you understand postfix. Postfix removes all questions about parenthesis and precedence, because this is explicitly specified in the order of the postfix operations. Associative and distributive properties simply don't matter. > hehehe did i ever said to my post that fibonacci is a useless problem? tell > me one good example that nine nines problem is applicable to our daily > lives? and ill take a bow on you! It is but one mental exercise to keep our minds agile - quite an important thing, and _very_ applicable. If people only worked on what was obviously, immediately applicable, Fermat's last theorem would never have been proven. ;) > every hacker has its own taste and style... some of them are interested and > some of them are not.

No, but it is an easy way, and one of the cardinal virtues of hackerdom is laziness. ;) -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3 BS CS geek =) Ateneo Cervini-Eliazo Networks (ACENT) tel: 63(2) 426-6001 loc 5925 BOFH excuse #91: Mouse chewed through power cable _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
