C Program to Convert Infix Expression to Postfix Using Stack



Program : 

  • This Program Accepts Operators : +,-,/,*,(,)
  • Sample Infix Expression : (a+b)*c/(a+b*c)
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#define MAX 100

typedef struct stack
{
int data[MAX];
int top;
}stack;

int priority(char);
void init(stack *);
int empty(stack *);
int full(stack *);
char pop(stack *);
void push(stack *,char);
char top(stack *);

void main()
{
stack s;
char x;
int token;
init(&s);
clrscr();
printf("nEnter infix expression:");
while((token=getchar())!='n')
{
if(isalnum(token))
printf("%c",token);
else
if(token == '(')
push(&s,'(');
else
{
if(token == ')')
while((x=pop(&s))!='(')
printf("%c",x);
else
{
while(priority(token)< =priority(top(&s)) && !empty(&s))
{
x=pop(&s);
printf("%c",x);
}
push(&s,token);
}
}
}
while(!empty(&s))
{
x=pop(&s);
printf("%c",x);
}
getch();
}

Explanation :

while((token=getchar())!='n')
  • Accepts Expression Character by Character Till Entered Character is ‘n’
  • After Accepting Single Character do all actions inside while loop.
if(isalnum(token))
printf("%c",token);
  • isalnum(token)   checks whether entered Character is Alphabetic or Numeric .
  • If Entered Character is alpha-numeric then Directly Display it - for more help [Algo] + [Example]
  • If Entered Character is Opening Bracket then Push Element Onto Stack

if(token == '(')
push(&s,'(');
  • If Entered Character is ‘Closing Bracket’ then Pop All Elements till Equivalent Opening Bracket is poped.
if(token == ')')
while((x=pop(&s))!='(')
printf("%c",x);
  • If Entered Character is Operator then - do
else
{
while(priority(token)< =priority(top(&s)) && !empty(&s))
{
x=pop(&s);
printf("%c",x);
}
push(&s,token);
}
