    InOrder traversal : show tree

    I am needing confirmation of the following:

    Show the expression tree whose InOrder traversal is:

    (5*2+(3*4-7))/(3+4/2)

    Code:
                                        '/'
                                      /    \
                                     /      \
                                    /        \
                                   /          \
                                  /            \
                                '+'            '-' 
                                /\              /\
                               /  \            /  \
                              /    \          /    \
                             /      \        /      \  
                            '*'   '-'        '+'     2     
                            /\      /\       /\ 
                           /  \    /  \     /  \ 
                          /    \  /    \   /    \ 
                         5    2  '*'   7   3    4
                                 / \
                               3   4

    Your tree to the right of the root is wrong... that's the tree for
    3 + 4 - 2
    but your equation you need to make the right subtree for is...
    3 + 4 / 2

    okay, 'cept for the keying error on my part on the one node;
    this is a correct representation of the expression I gave as :

    (5*2+(3*4-7))/(3+4/2) ???

    I wasn't sure about the parts (3*4-7) and (3+4/2); I take it that
    * and / are evaluated as the parent node over + and - . Is that right???

    Now the next evaluation is to take the following expression tree and give the postfix expression using PostOrder traveral.

    Code:
                                        '/'
                                      /    \
                                     /      \
                                    /        \
                                   /          \
                                  /            \
                                '+'            '/' 
                                /\              /\
                               /  \            /  \
                              /    \          /    \
                             /      \        /      \  
                            '*'   '-'        '+'     2     
                            /\      /\       /\ 
                           /  \    /  \     /  \ 
                          /    \  /    \   /    \ 
                         5    2  '*'   7   3    4
                                 / \
                               3   4
    postfix expression of above tree:

    5 2 * 3 4 * 7 - + 3 4 + 2 / /

    Is this right??

    Your postfix answer is correct, but your inffix tree is still incorrect.

    The tree you have now is for...
    (3 + 4) / 2
    The 3 + 4 is being evaluated, and it's result is divided by the 2. Because / has higher precedence than +, you need to add 3 to the division of 4 / 2...

    buggers....
    I think this is confusing sometimes.

    okay so the correct tree expression of
    (5*2+(3*4-7))/(3+4/2)
    is:

    Code:
                                        '/'
                                      /    \
                                     /      \
                                    /        \
                                   /          \
                                  /            \
                                '+'            '+' 
                                /\              /\
                               /  \            /  \
                              /    \          /    \
                             /      \        /      \  
                            '*'   '-'        3     '/'     
                            /\      /\             / \
                           /  \    /  \           /   \
                          /    \  /    \         /     \
                         5    2  '*'   7        4      2
                                 / \
                               3   4
