people almost exclusively use infix notation to write mathematical expressions, computer languages almost exclusively allow programmers to use infix notation. However, if a compiler allowed infix expressions into the binary code used in the compiled version of a program, the resulting code would be larger than needed and very inefficient. Because of this, compilers convert infix expressions into postfix notation expressions, which have a much simpler set of rules for expression evaluation. Postfix notation gets its name from the fact that operators in a postfix expression follow the operands that they specify an operation on. Here are some examples of equivalent infix and postfix expressions Infix Notation Postfix Notation 2 + 3 2 3 + 2 + 3 * 6 3 6 * 2 + (2 + 3) * 6 2 3 + 6 * A / (B * C) + D * E - A - C A B C * / D E * + A C * - Where as infix notation expressions need a long list or rules for evaluation, postfix expressions need very few.

Postfix notation, or Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), offers several advantages over infix notation, primarily in computational efficiency and simplicity of parsing. In postfix, the order of operations is unambiguous, eliminating the need for parentheses and operator precedence rules, which simplifies the evaluation process for computers. This leads to faster execution times since expression evaluation can be performed using a straightforward stack-based algorithm. Additionally, postfix notation can reduce the likelihood of errors during expression evaluation.

To convert an infix expression to postfix and prefix in PHP, you can implement the Shunting Yard algorithm for postfix conversion and a modified approach for prefix conversion. For postfix, you use a stack to reorder operators based on their precedence and associativity while scanning the infix expression. For prefix, you can reverse the infix expression, convert it to postfix, and then reverse the resulting postfix expression. Here’s a brief code outline for both conversions: function infixToPostfix($infix) { // Implement the Shunting Yard algorithm to convert infix to postfix } function infixToPrefix($infix) { // Reverse the infix expression // Convert to postfix using infixToPostfix // Reverse the postfix result to get prefix } You would need to handle operators, parentheses, and precedence rules within these functions.

You convert an (infix) expression into a postfix expression as part of the process of generating code to evaluate that expression.

Linear data structure is used to convert the logical address to physical address .Stack is used in this and the various conversion such as postfix,prefix and infix notation are come in this

Without data-structures you cannot even store expressions, let alone convert or evaluate them.
Postfix notation, also known as Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands. This eliminates the need for parentheses to dictate the order of operations, as the sequence of operations is clear from the position of the operators and operands. For example, the expression "3 + 4" in infix notation would be written as "3 4 +" in postfix notation. This method is often used in stack-based programming and calculators for its simplicity in evaluating expressions.
