A Simple Conversion
- Input: 3+4
- Add 3 to the output queue (whenever a number is read it is added to the output)
- Push + (or its ID) onto the operator stack
- Add 4 to the output queue
- After reading the expression pop the operators off the stack and add them to the output.
- In this case there is only one, "+".
- Output 3 4 +
This already shows a couple of rules:
- All numbers are added to the output when they are read.
- At the end of reading the expression, pop all operators off the stack and onto the output.

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or conversion:
“I reside at Table Mountain, and my name is Truthful James;
I am not up to small deceit, or any sinful games;
And I’ll tell in simple language what I know about the row
That broke up our society upon the Stanislow.
But first I would remark, that it is not a proper plan
For any scientific man to whale his fellow-man,”
—Bret Harte (1836–1902)
“The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
