Postfix writing […] is a form of representation of mathematical expressions in which arithmetic operatorsare written specified by operands.
Advantages of postfix writing over prefix and infix writing:

• Highlights clear policy of making operations;
• Brackets for forcing priority for implementing operators are not necessary;
• Evaluations are easily performed by computer.

Algorithm for evaluation of an expression in postfix writing is:

3. Last value extracted from the stack is the result of evaluating the mathematical expression.

In the application below, stack structure type […] is used for storing values, operands of arithmetic expressions and a queue type structure […] to store the expression in postfix writing.

In above application, functions were built to implement operations of the stack structure type (push, pop) and queue (put, get).
To implement stack structure type, a simply linked list structure is used and it consists of elements operand value of math expression and address of the successor element in the list.
To implement the queue structure type, a simply linked list structure is used and it consists of elements operand value, an arithmetic symbol and the address of the successor element. In the node, the operand value and arithmetic symbol are mutually exclusive. Thus, when the symbol contains ASCII value 0, the field operand value is active. If the symbol contains ASCII values associated with ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘*’, ‘/’ then it is active being used further in the evaluation algorithm.
