I have this program but need to adjust a little bit. At first it asks to enter an expression but I can only enter it in this form -> 7*(23-2)+10
but i want to enter it like this -> 7 * (23- 2)+ 10;
therefore the program should ignore the spaces and semicolon. also if i enter only the semicolon it should exit the program.
Also i can't get the program to restart and ask the enter the expression thing. please help me!!!!! thanks

In your in[ut function, if you get one of the characters you want to ignore, just go back and input another character. It's just an addition to your already complex input loop.

>this form -> 7*(23-2)+10
but i want to enter it like this -> 7 * (23- 2)+ 10;

So create a method which strips it of whitespace. Or do you mean it crashes when you use spaces? If so use cin.getline() instead.

>also if i enter only the semicolon it should exit the program.

if input == ";"
  Then exit
end if

>i can't get the program to restart and ask the enter the expression thing.

So are you telling me you know how to write a infix to postfix program but don't understand the basic while loop?
