C# - Infix to Postfix Conversion





I have given here the source code in C# for InFix to PostFix Conversion with the help of Stack (Last In First Out) Data Struct implementation.

 

Source Code


using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

         for (int i = 0; i < infixBuffer.Length; i++)

         {

            char ch = infixBuffer[i];

            if (ch == '+' || ch == '-' || ch == '*' || ch == '/')

            {

               // check the precedence

               if (s1.Count <= 0)

                  s1.Push(ch);

               else
