Stacks: Help!!!

[Thelastairbender]

Mabuang ko sa amo exercise run...2 weeks na gyud ko nag trabaho ani di gyud na ko ma imagine unsaon...palihug kug tabang guyz...c# console application ra ni siya..not asking for spoon feed help pero pls guide me lang on the right track..hehehe

ang problem is ang user mo input ug mathematical expression like 78-93*62-87..dayun isud kuno tanang elements sa stack dayun iyang i compute ang result...mabuang gyud ko..unsaon man kuno nag tell sa program kung unsa ang number and unsa ang operations...ahhh kalibug...patabang lang ko guyz hap

waaa...sir gi suwayan nko it works pero it doesnt follow the mdas rule...like if the expression is 3+5*4 32 man iya i answer T.T...need more help guyz but thank you sir null

[nullpointer]

that code evaluates expressions the same as the typical calculator like the windows calculator...you can rewrite your expression to 5*4+3...
