I'm writing a reverse Polish calculator. If the input is 1 2 - 4 5 + *, the output should be 9, but I'm getting -9.

Does anyone see where the problem lies?

Thanks!

I'm writing a reverse Polish calculator. If the input is 1 2 - 4 5 + *, the output should be 9, but I'm getting -9.

[u]1 2 -[/u]  [u]4 5 +[/u]  [u]*[/u]
   1-2    4+5
   [u]-1      9    *[/u]
        -1 * 9
          -9

Looks right to me.
