Infix Prefix Postfix
Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Infix Prefix Postfix' problem.
Problem Statement
Write a function infix_to_postfix(expression) that takes a string expression representing an infix mathematical expression and returns the equivalent postfix expression. You may assume operators are +, -, *, /, ^ and parentheses are (, ).
- •1 <= len(expression) <= 100
- •Expression contains only valid variables, operators, and parentheses.
Examples
expression = "A*(B+C)/D"
"ABC+*D/"
Infix 'A*(B+C)/D' converted to postfix is 'ABC+*D/'.
