Disadvantages of Postfix Expressions
- Requires a stack-based algorithm for evaluation.
- Can be less efficient than prefix notation in certain situations.
Infix, Postfix and Prefix Expressions/Notations
Mathematical formulas often involve complex expressions that require a clear understanding of the order of operations. To represent these expressions, we use different notations, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we will explore three common expression notations: infix, prefix, and postfix.
