Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.
Valid operators are
+, -, *, /. Each operand may be an integer or another expression.
Some examples:
["2", "1", "+", "3", "*"] -> ((2 + 1) * 3) -> 9 ["4", "13", "5", "/", "+"] -> (4 + (13 / 5)) -> 6
Not a tricky problem. Using a stack can make your life much easier.
However, one thing I should always remember: use .equals() to compare strings instead of ==
"The function checks the actual contents of the string, the
== operator checks whether the references to the objects are equal. ". public class RPN {
public int evalRPN(String[] tokens) {
if (tokens == null)
return 0;
String operators = "+-*/";
Stack stack = new Stack ();
for (String token : tokens)
{
if (!operators.contains(token))
{
stack.push(Integer.valueOf(token));
continue;
}
int b = stack.pop();
int a = stack.pop();
if (token.equals("+"))
stack.push(a + b);
else if (token.equals("-"))
stack.push(a - b);
else if (token.equals("*"))
stack.push(a * b);
else
stack.push(a / b);
}
return stack.pop();
}
}
