Array loop problem!!!

[ben2000]

Please I wrote this code to convert an expression to postfix, using the values of each row of an array. The expression can only be written using the words red, blue and green, which refer to col 1, col 2, col 3, respectively. Eg If I enter red*blue+green, I want to get the postfix of the values for row 1 and row 2 with respect to the entered expression. The code works but it stops after executing the first row. Please can someone find out what I could be missing or what I should do?

    // stack implementation
    void push( char ch ) { stack[stackSize++] = ch; }
    
    char pop() { return (stackSize > 0) ? stack[--stackSize] : 0; }
    
    char top() { return (stackSize > 0) ? stack[stackSize-1] : 0; }
    
    int empty() { return stackSize == 0; }
    
    int isOperator( char ch ) {
        return (ch == '+' || ch == '-' || ch == '*' || ch == '/');
    }

        if ( ch == '*' || ch == '/' || ch == '&#37;' )

Some leading questions:
What are you parsing in the second iteration of your loop?

Also, what happens if you type in an "invalid" variable name?

Sorry all I though I thinking it will repeat the do loop while parsing the index 1,, to the get value function, cos I first did it with a 1*3 array before I tried to increase it to a 2*3 array.

For what happens if an invalid variable is entered that I can fix, I just want to get it working first.

So, what are you actually parsing in the second iteration of your loop? Could it be that you are not parsing the same string?

That's what I'm actually trying to figure out, it's quite confusing to me right now.

[ben2000]

Ok, it's my ignorance, I've fixed it.

[matsp]

Good. Sometimes, just following the flow "by hand" will help you understand where things go wrong.
