C++ || Simple Multi Digit, Decimal & Negative Number Infix To Postfix Conversion & Evaluation

The following is sample code which demonstrates the implementation of a multi digit, decimal, and negative number infix to postfix converter and evaluator using C++.

The program demonstrated on this page has the ability to convert and evaluate a single digit, multi digit, decimal number, and/or negative number infix equation. So for example, if the the infix equation of (19.87 * -2) was entered into the program, the converted postfix expression of 19.87 -2 * would display to the screen, as well as the final evaluated answer of -39.74.

How To Convert Infix To Postfix
How To Evaluate A Postfix Expression


1. Overview

The program demonstrated on this page is different from a previous implementation of the same type in that this version does not use a Finite State Machine during the conversion process, which simplifies the implemetation!

This program has the following flow of control:

• Get an infix expression from the user
• Convert the infix expression to postfix & isolate all of the math operators, multi digit, decimal, negative and single digit numbers that are found in the postfix expression
• Evaluate the postfix expression by breaking the infix string into tokens found from the above step
• Display the evaluated answer to the screen

The above steps are implemented below.

What Is A Finite State Machine?

Using a Finite State Machine, the program demonstrated on this page has the ability to convert and evaluate a single digit, multi digit, decimal number, and/or negative number infix equation. So for example, if the the infix equation of (19.87 * -2) was entered into the program, the converted postfix expression of 19.87 ~2* would display to the screen, as well as the final evaluated answer of -39.74.

NOTE: In this program, negative numbers are represented by the “~” symbol on the postfix string. This is used to differentiate between a negative number and a subtraction symbol.

This program has the following flow of control:

• Get an infix expression from the user
• Convert the infix expression to postfix
• Use a Finite State Machine to isolate all of the math operators, multi digit, decimal, negative and single digit numbers that are found in the postfix expression
• Evaluate the postfix expression using the tokens found from the above step
• Display the evaluated answer to the screen

Java || Snippet – How To Find The Highest & Lowest Numbers Contained In An Integer Array

This page will consist of a simple demonstration for finding the highest and lowest numbers contained in an integer array.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FOR THIS SNIPPET

Integer Arrays
For Loops
Custom Setw/Setfill In Java

Finding the highest/lowest values in an array can be found in one or two ways. The first way would be via a sort, which would obviously render the highest/lowest numbers contained in the array because the values would be sorted in order from highest to lowest. But a sort may not always be practical, especially when you want to keep the array values in the same order that they originally came in.

The second method of finding the highest/lowest values is by traversing through the array, literally checking each value it contains one by one to determine if the current number which is being compared truly is a target value or not. That method will be displayed below.

Switch Statements - How To Use

Using “cin.get(),” this program first asks the user to enter in a number (one at a time) that they wish to translate into words. If the text which was entered into the system is a number, the program will save the user input into an integer array. If the text is not a number, the input is discarded. After integer data is obtained, a for loop is used to traverse the integer array, passing the data to a switch statement, which translates the number to text.

This program is very simple, so it does not have the ability to display any number prefixes. As a result, if the number “1858” was entered into the system, the program would output the converted text: “One Eight Five Eight.”

Notice the array declaration on line #13. The type of array being used in this program is a dynamic array, which has the ability to store up to 100 integer elements in the array. You can change the number of elements its able to store to a higher or lower number if you wish.

FOR LOOP
Lines 27-32 contains a for loop, which is used to actually store the data inside of the array. Without some type of loop, it is virtually impossible for the user to input data into the array; that is, unless you want to add 100 different println statements into your code asking the user to input data. Line 31 uses the assignment operator “+=” which gives us a running total of the data that is being inputted into the array. Note the loop only stores as many elements as the user so desires, so if the user only wants to input 3 numbers into the array, the for loop will only execute 3 times.

Once compiled, you should get this as your output:

Welcome to My Programming Notes' Java Program.

How many numbers do you want to find the average for?: 4
Enter value #1: 21
Enter value #2: 24
Enter value #3: 19
Enter value #4: 17
The average of the 4 numbers is 20.25

====== FIND THE AVERAGE – OMIT HIGHEST AND LOWEST SCORES ======

The second program is really practical in a real world setting. We were asked to create a program for a fictional competition which had 6 judges. The 6 judges each gave a score of the performance for a competitor in a competition, (i.e a score of 1-10), and we were asked to find the average of those scores, omitting the highest/lowest results. The program was to store the scores into an array, display the scores back to the user via stdout, display the highest and lowest scores among the 6 obtained, display the average of the 6 scores, and finally display the average adjusted scores omitting the highest and lowest result.

FINAL
A final variable was declared and used to initialize the array (line 7). This was used to initialize the size of the array.

FOR LOOPS
Once again loops were used to traverse the array, as noted on lines 24, 51 and 73. The final variable was also used within the for loops, making it easier to modify the code if its necessary to reduce or increase the number of available judges.

HIGHEST/LOWEST SCORES
This is noted on lines 35-45, and it is really simple to understand the process once you see the code.

OMITTING HIGHEST/LOWEST SCORE
Lines 73-81 highlights this process. The loop basically traverses the array, skipping over the highest/lowest elements.

Once compiled, you should get this as your output

Welcome to My Programming Notes' Java Program.

Judges, enter one score each for
the current competitor: 123 453 -789 2 23345 987

These are the scores from the 6 judges:
The score for judge #1 is: 123.0
The score for judge #2 is: 453.0
The score for judge #3 is: -789.0
The score for judge #4 is: 2.0
The score for judge #5 is: 23345.0
The score for judge #6 is: 987.0

These are the highest and lowest scores:
Highest: 23345.0
Lowest: -789.0
The average score is: 4020.1666666666665
The average adjusted score omitting the highest and lowest result is: 391.25

Java || Snippet – Custom Setw & Setfill Sample Code For Java

This page will consist of a brief implementation of setw/ios::width and setfill/ios::fill in Java.

If you are a C++ programmer, no doubt you have used the setw and setfill commands many times. It makes formatting output like this very clean and simple (see below).

Ending balance:................. $ 6433.47
Amount of deposits:............. $ 1750.00
Amount of withdrawals:.......... $ 420.00
Amount of interest earned:...... $ 103.47

But to my amazement, I could not find a very suitable replacement for the setw/setfill functions in Java. Using simple for loops, the methods provided on this page has the ability to mimic both functions which are available in C++.

Included in the sample code are the following:

== SETW ==

(1) right - Justifies string data of size "width," filling the width to the start of the string with whitespace

(2) left - Justifies string data of size "width," filling the width to the end of the string with whitespace

== SETFILL ==

(3) right - Justifies string data of size "width," filling the width to the start of the string with a filler character

(4) left - Justifies string data of size "width," filling the width to the end of the string with a filler character

Also, you must understand minimal object oriented programming to use this code!

The code is heavily commented, so no further insight is necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

===== DEMONSTRATION HOW TO USE =====

Use of the above snippet is similar to its C++ counterpart. Here is a sample program demonstrating its use.

Once compiled, you should get this as your output

Java || Count The Total Number Of Characters, Vowels, & UPPERCASE Letters Contained In A Sentence Using A ‘For Loop’

Here is a simple program, which demonstrates more practice using the input/output mechanisms which are available in Java.

This program will prompt the user to enter a sentence, then upon entering an “exit code,” will display the total number of uppercase letters, vowels and characters which are contained within that sentence. This program is very similar to an earlier project, this time, utilizing a for loop, strings, and user defined methods.
