Question
  1.  The following function converts a postfix expression to an infix expression assuming the expression can only contain unsigned integer numbers and ‘+’ and ‘-’ operators.

1. public static String convert(String postfix) {

2.    String operand1, operand2, infix;

3.    Stack<String> s = new AStack<String>;

4.    int i = 0;

5.    while(i < postfix.length) {

6.         char nextc = postfix.charAt(i);

7.         if ((nextc == '+')||(nextc == '-') {

8.              operand2 = s.pop(); operand1 = s.pop();

9.              infix = '(' + operand1 + nextc + operand2 + ')';

10.             s.push(infix); i++;

11.        }

12.        else if (Character.isDigit(nextc)){

13.             int start = i;

14.             while(Character.isDigit(postfix.charAt(i)) i++;

15.             infix = postfix.substring(start,i);

16.             s.push(infix);

17.        }

18.        else i++;

19.  }

20   return s.pop();

21. }

 

 

a) Rewrite only the lines of code that need to be changed so that the above function converts a postfix expression to a prefix expression.

 

 

b) Describe in words what changes are needed on the above given convert() function so that it also finds the value of the converted postfix expression.
