CSC172 PROJECT

PROJECT 1
CSC172 PROJECT 1
INFIX CALCULATOR
1 Introduction
This project will require you to create a Java program that will take an input file consisting of several
lines of mathematical expressions in infix notation, convert them to postfix notation using the shuntingyard
algorithm, and then evaluate the postfix expression. The results of the calculations will then be
saved to an output file. This project will make use of your Stack and Queue implementations
previously made in lab.
2 Shunting-Yard Algorithm
The first part of the project involves converting infix expressions to postfix using the shunting-yard
algorithm and the stack and queue implementations you wrote in lab 6. You should not use the stack
and queue classes from the Java library. Each infix expression may contain any combination of the
following mathematical operators: addition [+], subtraction [-], multiplication [*], division [/],
parentheses [()], less than [<], greater than [>], equal to [=], logical AND [&], logical OR [|], and
logical NOT [!]. When using the mathematical and logical operators together, let “false” be
represented by 0 and “true” be represented by 1. Extra credit is available for programs that can support
the following additional operators: exponentiation [^], modulo [%], sine [sin], cosine [cos], and tangent
[tan].
The shunting-yard algorithm works by considering each “token” (operand or operator) from an infix
expression and taking the appropriate action:

  1. If the token is an operand, enqueue it.
  2. If the token is a close-parenthesis [‘)’], pop all the stack elements and enqueue them one by one
    until an open-parenthesis [‘(‘] is found.
  3. If the token is an operator, pop every token on the stack and enqueue them one by one until you
    reach either an operator of lower precedence, or a right-associative operator of equal precedence
    (e.g. the logical NOT is a right-associative operator). Enqueue the last operator found, and push
    the original operator onto the stack.
  4. At the end of the input, pop every token that remains on the stack and add them to the queue
    one by one.
    The queue now holds the converted postfix expression and can be passed onto the postfix calculator for
    evaluation.
  5. Postfix Evaluation
    With your postfix expression stored in the queue, the next step is to evaluate it. The algorithm for
    evaluating a postfix expression proceeds as follows:
  6. Get the token at the front of the queue.
  7. If the token is an operand, push it onto the stack.
  8. If the token is an operator, pop the appropriate number of operands from the stack (e.g. 2
    operands for multiplication, 1 for logical NOT). Perform the operation on the popped
    operands, and push the resulting value onto the stack.
    Repeat steps 1-3 until the queue is empty. When it is, there should be a single value in the stack – that
    value is the result of the expression.
  9. Deliverable
    For this project, you will need to write a Java program that reads in a series of infix expressions from a
    plain text file, converts the expressions to postfix notation, evaluates the postfix expressions, and saves
    the resulting answers to a new text file. You may assume that the input file will contain valid infix
    expressions that can be safely evaluated to numbers (e.g. they won't include division by zero). Extra
    credit will be awarded if your program can safely handle invalid input by printing a relevant error
    message in the output file.
    The file “infix_expr_short.txt” provided with this prompt contains a subset of the expressions the TAs
    will use when grading your program. The output of your program should exactly match
    “postfix_eval_short.txt” in order to receive full credit. You can check if two files are equivalent by
    using the “diff” command on OS X or Linux, or “FC” on Windows. It is strongly recommended that
    you write your own (additional) test cases and submit them with your source code to demonstrate your
    program's capabilities.
    The locations of the input and output files will be supplied to your program via the command line. The
    first command line argument will be the location of the input file (containing infix expressions), and
    the second argument will be the location where your postfix evaluations should be stored. For example,
    if your main method were in a class called InfixCalculator, your program should be run as:
    java InfixCalculator infix_expr_short.txt my_eval.txt
  10. Hand In
    Hand in the source code from this lab at the appropriate location on the Blackboard system at
    my.rochester.edu. You should hand in a single compressed/archived (i.e. “zipped” file that contains the
    following.)
  11. A plain text file named README that includes your contact information, a detailed synopsis of
    how your code works and any notable obstacles you overcame, and a list of all files included in
    the submission. If you went above and beyond in your implementation and feel that you deserve
    extra credit for a feature in your program, be sure to explicitly state what that feature is and why
    it deserves extra credit.
  12. Source code files (you may decide how many you need) representing the work accomplished in
    this project. All source code files should contain author identification in the comments at the top
    of the file.
  13. A plain text file named OUTPUT that includes author information at the beginning and shows
    the compile and run steps of your code. The best way to generate this file is to cut and paste
    from the command line.
  14. Any additional files containing extra test cases and your program's corresponding output.
    Theses cases should be described in your README so the grader knows what you were testing
    and what the expected results were.
