im wondering if any1 can send me the function that evaluates the value of a postfix expression in c++<<using stacks>>...
i really need it as soon as possible.. :sad:

No, we don't do homework. But if you do the work yourself, we'll be happy to help you along.

its not a homework actuallly....its a project and its just a small part of it....
i just wanted help in this function only.. :o

>its not a homework actuallly....its a project
Okay, that's not different at all.

>i just wanted help in this function only..
No, you wanted a handout. We don't do that, so provide an honest attempt and we'll help.

loool...
im being honest...anyway,thankx for ur advice... ;)
hope u can help me one day... :o

>im being honest
I don't doubt it, but that doesn't change the fact that you're asking for us to do your work for you. Since we have neither the time nor the inclination to write something that we've all probably written before, that's just not going to happen.

>hope u can help me one day...
Hopefully you'll ask for something that I'm willing to help with.
