None of this code

  38.           Stack.pop()

Is inside a function and is causing a syntax error

It doesn't appear to have any purpose so I guess you can just delete it as the program compiles fine without it.

hi Banfa.. my purpose in typing out those codes is to convert infix to postfix..

for example:
Sample input 1
1 + 2 * 3 - 4 / 2 + 5 * 6
Sample output 1
35

Sample input 2
( 10 + 20 ) * 30 - 4000 / 20 + 50 * 60
Sample output 2
3700

I'm trying to write a program for this... and my notes shows only these codes, the one that i type out...

what should i do now... :(

Hello! I am converting an infix expression string into a postfix so that I will be able to evaluate it easier -> (5*(((9+8)*(4*6))+7)) == 598+46**7+* I believe the rule is "Replace all occurances of two operands followed by an operator by their infix equivalent"

Alright basically I just have one simple question. I can code perfectly fine and don't have any problems with the .cpp of the infix class but with my header I can't get anything to work really, any guideline as to how to start this would be great. It has to work with assign.cpp which is like this: int main() { Infix infix; while (true) { //cout << "Enter an infix expression like 2*(3+4): " << endl;

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
