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:
“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)
“The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
