    Thanks Cela,

    I got this from a site I found on google:
    "Thus, the compilers on on almost all modern computers converted statements to RPN for execution."
    http://www.hpmuseum.org/rpn.htm

    so doesn't that mean the compiler does postfix anyway and u don't have to add yurself?

    I once wrote a fairly long post on how to convert an expression to RPN.
    But I guess I'm a poor tutor, because none answered my post.

    Here it is:

    How do you expect the compiler to convert an input value into RPN while your program is running?
