Shunting-yard algorithm Infix to postfix conversion Based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunting_yard_algorithm
2
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? TODO: rules should be visible and highlighted when a rule is applied an example containing operator precedence rules How to evaluate this (or similar) formula?
3
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Let’s play that the tokens are train cars and we are shunting the shunting yard. 2+(3*(8-4))
4
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? The first car is a number, it goes straight through. 2+(3*(8-4))
5
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Next, the third track (the stack) is empty, we move the operator there. 2+(3*(8-4))
6
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Left parenthesis goes always down. 2 + (3*(8-4))
7
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Again, there is a number. It moves always straight to the left. 2 + ( 3*(8-4))
8
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Next there is an operator, it goes down because the topmost car there is an parenthesis. 2 + ( 3*(8-4))
9
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Again a left parenthesis, they go always to the stack. 2 + ( 3 * (8-4))
10
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? A number, straight to the left. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8-4))
11
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? A number, straight to the left. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8-4))
12
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? An operator, move it down. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8-4))
13
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? A number, to the left, as always. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8 - 4))
14
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? A right parenthesis. Now we move the cars from the bottom until there is left parenthesis. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8 - 4))
15
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? The pair of the parenthesis just disappear. 2 + ( 3 * ( 8-4))
16
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Again, we pop out the items until there is a left parenthesis. 2 + ( 3 * 8-4)
17
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? A pair of parenthesis disappear. 2 + ( 3*8-4)
18
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? No more cars on the right side, so we move the cars from the bottom to the left. 2 + 3*8-4
19
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Now the transformation is done, how to evaluate it? 2+3*8-4
20
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Move the cars back to the right side. 2+3*8-4
21
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Move the cars back to the right side. 2+3*8-4
22
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Move the numbers to the down until we find an operator. 2+3*8-4
23
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? When operator is found, place it to the middle so that it is between two numbers. 2 + 3 * 8 - 4
24
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Do the calculation and put the result back to down. 2 + 3 *4-8
25
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Do the calculation and put the result back to down. 2 + 3 *4
26
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Again, operator to the middle, between the two upmost numbers. 2 + 3 * 4
27
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Calculate the expression and put the result back to the down. 2 +3*4
28
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Calculate the expression and put the result back to the down. 2 +12
29
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? And the last operator, it is handled in the same way. 2 + 12
30
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = ? Calculate the result and that’s it! 2+12
31
2 + (3 * (8 - 4)) = 14 Calculate the result and that’s it! 14
