# 150     Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation

## 150. [Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation](https://leetcode.com/problems/evaluate-reverse-polish-notation/description/)

## 1. Question

Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in [Reverse Polish Notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation).

Valid operators are`+`,`-`,`*`,`/`. Each operand may be an integer or another expression.

Some examples:

```
  ["2", "1", "+", "3", "*"] -> ((2 + 1) * 3) -> 9
  ["4", "13", "5", "/", "+"] -> (4 + (13 / 5)) -> 6
```

## 2. Implementation

思路: 当遇到运算符时，要处理前面的数字，所以用stack

```java
public class Solution {
    public int evalRPN(String[] tokens) {
        int num1 = 0, num2 = 0;   
        Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

        for (String token : tokens) {
            switch(token) {
                case "+":
                    num1 = stack.pop();
                    num2 = stack.pop();
                    stack.push(num1 + num2);
                    break;
                case "-":
                    num1 = stack.pop();
                    num2 = stack.pop();
                    stack.push(num2 - num1);
                    break;
                case "*":
                    num1 = stack.pop();
                    num2 = stack.pop();
                    stack.push(num1 * num2);
                    break;
                case "/":
                    num1 = stack.pop();
                    num2 = stack.pop();
                    stack.push(num2 / num1);
                    break;
                default:
                    stack.push(Integer.parseInt(token));

            }
        }
        return stack.peek();
    }
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://protegejj.gitbook.io/oj-practices/chapter1/stack/150-evaluate-reverse-polish-notation.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
