{{task}}

;Task: Create a stack-based evaluator for an expression in [[wp:Reverse Polish notation|reverse Polish notation (RPN)]] that also shows the changes in the stack as each individual token is processed ''as a table''.

  • Assume an input of a correct, space separated, string of tokens of an RPN expression

  • Test with the RPN expression generated from the [[Parsing/Shunting-yard algorithm]] task:

      <big><big><code> 3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / + </code></big></big>
    
  • Print or display the output here

;Notes:

  • '''^''' means exponentiation in the expression above.
  • '''/''' means division.

;See also:

  • [[Parsing/Shunting-yard algorithm]] for a method of generating an RPN from an infix expression.
  • Several solutions to [[24 game/Solve]] make use of RPN evaluators (although tracing how they work is not a part of that task).
  • [[Parsing/RPN to infix conversion]].
  • [[Arithmetic evaluation]].

360 Assembly

{{trans|FORTRAN}} For concision, only integer arithmetic is handled, but input numbers can be of any length. The formal task is not completed, but the spirit of it is.

Fortran

Since the project is to demonstrate the workings of the scheme to evaluate a RPN text sequence, and the test example contains only single-digit numbers and single-character operators, there is no need to escalate to reading full integers or floating-point numbers, the code for which would swamp the details of the RPN evaluator. As a result, it is easy to scan the text via a DO-loop that works one character at a time since there is no backstepping, probing ahead, nor multi-symbol items that must be combined into a single "token" with states that must be remembered from one character to the next. With multi-character tokens, the scan would be changed to invocations of NEXTTOKEN that would lurch ahead accordingly.

The method is simple (the whole point of RPN) and the function prints a schedule of actions at each step. Possibly this semi-tabular output is what is meant by "as a table". Conveniently, all the operators take two operands and return one, so the SP accountancy can be shared. Unlike ! for example.

The source style is essentially F77 except for the trivial use of the PARAMETER statement, and CYCLE to GO TO the end of the loop when a space is encountered. With the introduction of unfixed-format source style came also the possible use of semicolons to cram more than one statement part on a line so that the CASE and its action statement can be spread across the page rather than use two lines in alternation: for this case a tabular layout results that is easier to read and check. Because the F90 MODULE protocol is not used, the function's type should be declared in the calling routine but the default type suffices.

J

This task's operations are all dyadic - having two arguments. So on each step we may either "shift" a number to the stack or "reduce" two topmost stack items to one.

Our implementation will be a monadic verb: it will take a single argument, which contains both the accumulated stack and the tokens to be processed. First, create initial state of the input:

   a: , <;._1 ' ' , '3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +'
┌┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┐
││3│4│2│*│1│5│-│2│3│^│^│/│+│
└┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┘

As an example, let's also add monadic operation _ which inverses the sign of the stack top element.

We're going to read tokens from input one by one. Each time we read a token, we're checking if it's a number - in this case we put the number to the stack - or an operation - in this case we apply the operation to the stack. The monad which returns 1 (true) for a token representing an operation and 0 (false) otherwise is "isOp". The dyad, which moves an input token to the stack, is "doShift". Applying the operation to the stack is "doApply".

There are 6 operations - one monadic "_" and five dyadic "+", "-", "*", "/", "^". For operation, we need to translate input token into operation and apply it to the stack. The dyad which converts the input token to the operation is "dispatch". It uses two miscellaneous adverbs, one for monadic operations - "mo" - and another for dyadic - "dy".

The RPN driver is the monad "consume", which handles one token. The output is the state of the program after the token was consumed - stack in the 0th box, and remaining input afterwards. As a side effect, "consume" is going to print the resulting stack, so running "consume" once for each token will produce intermediate states of the stack.

   mo=: 1 :'(}: , u@{:) @ ['

Alternate Implementation

rpn=: 3 :0
  queue=. |.3 :'|.3 :y 0'::]each;: y
  op=. 1 :'2 (u~/@:{.,}.)S:0 ,@]'
  ops=. +op`(-op)`(*op)`(%op)`(^op)`(,&;)
  choose=. ((;:'+-*/^')&i.@[)
  ,[email protected]/queue
)

Example use:

   rpn '3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +'
3.00012

To see intermediate result stacks, use this variant (the only difference is the definition of 'op'):

rpnD=: 3 :0
  queue=. |.3 :'|.3 :y 0'::]each;: y
  op=. 1 :'2 (u~/@:{.,}.)S:0 ,@([smoutput)@]'
  ops=. +op`(-op)`(*op)`(%op)`(^op)`(,&;)
  choose=. ((;:'+-*/^')&i.@[)
  ,[email protected]/queue
)

In other words:

   rpnD '3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +'
┌─────┐
│2 4 3│
└─────┘
5 1 8 3
3 2 _4 8 3
8 _4 8 3
65536 8 3
0.00012207 3
3.00012

Note that the seed stack is boxed while computed stacks are not. Note that top of stack here is on the left. Note also that adjacent constants are bundled in the parsing phase. Finally, note that the result of rpn (and of rpnD - lines previous to the last line in the rpnD example here are output and not a part of the result) is the final state of the stack - in the general case it may not contain exactly one value.

## Mathematica (This code takes advantage of the fact that all of the operands and functions in the specified RPN syntax can be used to form valid Mathematica expressions, so we can use the built-in ToExpression function to turn them into numbers and the corresponding Mathematica functions. Note that we need to add braces around arguments, otherwise "-4^8" would be parsed as "-(4^8)" instead of "(-4)^8".) ```Mathematica calc[rpn_] := Module[{tokens = StringSplit[rpn], s = "(" <> ToString@InputForm@# <> ")" &, op, steps}, op[o_, x_, y_] := ToExpression[s@x <> o <> s@y]; steps = FoldList[Switch[#2, _?DigitQ, Append[#, FromDigits[#2]], _, Append[#[[;; -3]], op[#2, #[[-2]], #[[-1]]]] ] &, {}, tokens][[2 ;;]]; Grid[Transpose[{# <> ":" & /@ tokens, StringRiffle[ToString[#, InputForm] & /@ #] & /@ steps}]]]; Print[calc["3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +"]]; ``` {{out}} ```txt 3: 3 4: 3 4 2: 3 4 2 *: 3 8 1: 3 8 1 5: 3 8 1 5 -: 3 8 -4 2: 3 8 -4 2 3: 3 8 -4 2 3 ^: 3 8 -4 8 ^: 3 8 65536 /: 3 1/8192 +: 24577/8192 ``` ## Maxima ```Maxima rmod(i, j) := mod(j, i)$ rpow(x, y) := y^x$ rpn(sexpr) := ( operands: [], expr: charlist(sexpr), for token in expr do ( if token = "+" then ( push(pop(operands) + pop(operands), operands) ) elseif token = "-" then ( push(-1 * (pop(operands) - pop(operands)), operands) ) elseif token = "*" then ( push(pop(operands) * pop(operands), operands) ) elseif token = "/" then ( push(1 / (pop(operands) / pop(operands)), operands) ) elseif token = "%" then ( push(rmod(pop(operands), pop(operands)), operands) ) elseif token = "^" then ( push(rpow(pop(operands), pop(operands)), operands) ) elseif token # " " then ( push(parse_string(token), operands) ), if token # " " then ( print(token, " : ", operands) ) ), pop(operands) )$ rpn("3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +"), numer; ``` ### Output (%i5) ev(rpn("3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +"),numer) 3 : [3] 4 : [4, 3] 2 : [2, 4, 3] * : [8, 3] 1 : [1, 8, 3] 5 : [5, 1, 8, 3] - : [- 4, 8, 3] 2 : [2, - 4, 8, 3] 3 : [3, 2, - 4, 8, 3] ^ : [8, - 4, 8, 3] ^ : [65536, 8, 3] / : [1.220703125e-4, 3] + : [3.0001220703125] (%o5) 3.0001220703125 ``` ## MiniScript ```MiniScript RPN = function(inputText) tokens = inputText.split stack = [] while tokens tok = tokens.pull if "+-*/^".indexOf(tok) != null then b = stack.pop a = stack.pop if tok == "+" then stack.push a + b if tok == "-" then stack.push a - b if tok == "*" then stack.push a * b if tok == "/" then stack.push a / b if tok == "^" then stack.push a ^ b else stack.push val(tok) end if print tok + " --> " + stack end while return stack[0] end function print RPN("3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +") ``` {{out}} ```txt 3 --> [3] 4 --> [3, 4] 2 --> [3, 4, 2] * --> [3, 8] 1 --> [3, 8, 1] 5 --> [3, 8, 1, 5] - --> [3, 8, -4] 2 --> [3, 8, -4, 2] 3 --> [3, 8, -4, 2, 3] ^ --> [3, 8, -4, 8] ^ --> [3, 8, 65536] / --> [3, 0.000122] + --> [3.000122] 3.000122 ``` ## N/t/roff ===Classically-oriented version=== This implementation does not take advantage of GNU TROFF's ability to handle numerical registers of more than 2 characters. {{works with|GNU TROFF|1.22.2}} ```N/t/roff .ig RPN parser implementation in TROFF .. .\" \(*A stack implementation .nr Ac 0 .af Ac 1 .de APUSH .if (\\n(Ac>=0)&(\\n(Ac<27) \{ \ . nr Ac +1 . af Ac A . nr A\\n(Ac \\$1 . af Ac 1 \} .. .de APOP .if (\\n(Ac>0)&(\\n(Ac<27) \{ \ . af Ac A . rr A\\n(Ac \\$1 . af Ac 1 . nr Ac -1 .. .\" Facility to print entire stack .de L2 .af Ac 1 .if \\n(Li<=\\n(Ac \{ \ . af Li A \\n(A\\n(Li . af Li 1 . nr Li +1 .

(I know that because I tried running it with the first line modified to allow a stack depth of 7, i.e. allocating space for two more 40-bit floats, and it crashed with an "out of memory" error code before it could print the result of the final addition.) If we desperately needed a few extra bytes there are ways they could be shaved out of the current program; but this version works, and editing a program that takes up almost all your available RAM isn't very comfortable, and to make it really useful for practical purposes you would still want to have 2k or more anyway. The ZX81 character set doesn't include ^, so we have to use ** instead. Note that this is not two separate stars, although that's what it looks like: you have to enter it by typing SHIFT+H. No attempt is made to check for invalid syntax, stack overflow or underflow, etc. ```basic 10 DIM S(5) 20 LET P=1 30 INPUT E$ 40 LET I=0 50 LET I=I+1 60 IF E$(I)=" " THEN GOTO 110 70 IF I [String] { var rpn : [String] = [] var stack : [String] = [] // holds operators and left parenthesis for tok in tokens { switch tok { case "(": stack += [tok] // push "(" to stack case ")": while !stack.isEmpty { let op = stack.removeLast() // pop item from stack if op == "(" { break // discard "(" } else { rpn += [op] // add operator to result } } default: if let o1 = opa[tok] { // token is an operator? for op in stack.reverse() { if let o2 = opa[op] { if !(o1.prec > o2.prec || (o1.prec == o2.prec && o1.rAssoc)) { // top item is an operator that needs to come off rpn += [stack.removeLast()] // pop and add it to the result continue } } break } stack += [tok] // push operator (the new one) to stack } else { // token is not an operator rpn += [tok] // add operand to result } } } return rpn + stack.reverse() } func parseInfix(e: String) -> String { let tokens = e.characters.split{ $0 == " " }.map(String.init) return rpn(tokens).joinWithSeparator(" ") } var input : String input = "3 + 4 * 2 / ( 1 - 5 ) ^ 2 ^ 3" "infix: \(input)" "postfix: \(parseInfix(input))" ``` {{out}} ```txt "postfix: 3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +" ``` ## Tcl ```tcl # Helper proc pop stk { upvar 1 $stk s set val [lindex $s end] set s [lreplace $s end end] return $val } proc evaluate rpn { set stack {} foreach token $rpn { set act "apply" switch $token { "^" { # Non-commutative operation set a [pop stack] lappend stack [expr {[pop stack] ** $a}] } "/" { # Non-commutative, special float handling set a [pop stack] set b [expr {[pop stack] / double($a)}] if {$b == round($b)} {set b [expr {round($b)}]} lappend stack $b } "*" { # Commutative operation lappend stack [expr {[pop stack] * [pop stack]}] } "-" { # Non-commutative operation set a [pop stack] lappend stack [expr {[pop stack] - $a}] } "+" { # Commutative operation lappend stack [expr {[pop stack] + [pop stack]}] } default { set act "push" lappend stack $token } } puts "$token\t$act\t$stack" } return [lindex $stack end] } puts [evaluate {3 4 2 * 1 5 - 2 3 ^ ^ / +}] ``` {{out}} ```txt 3 push 3 4 push 3 4 2 push 3 4 2 * apply 3 8 1 push 3 8 1 5 push 3 8 1 5 - apply 3 8 -4 2 push 3 8 -4 2 3 push 3 8 -4 2 3 ^ apply 3 8 -4 8 ^ apply 3 8 65536 / apply 3 0.0001220703125 + apply 3.0001220703125 3.0001220703125 ``` ## UNIX Shell Please note that the asterisk * within the argument string needs to be escaped or quoted, otherwise the shell will interpret and expand it. Technically, this implementation uses a string to represent a stack and lines to delimit each item of the stack, not spaces as you might expect.
