A simple calculator works strictly left to right:
- get a number as the result of the last operation (if there is no number make it zero)
- make the result of the last operation the current number
- get the next operator
- if there is no next operator or it is equals (=) go to step 8
- get the next number
- do the operator on the current number and the next number
- go to step 2
- print the result of the last operator
- stop
- decide what to do if two operators are found together without an intervening number;
- decide how to detect a unary minus (ie when a '-' is found, is it a binary "number - number", or a unary "negate following number"
- how to handle the numbers - work with integers, fixed point or floating point, etc.
- decode the operator and do the relevant operation on the stored numbers.
-----------------------------------
A reverse polish calculator is actually much easier to code (than a simple calculator), but allows the user to specify precedence of operations (like a scientific calculator) or to use it as a simple calculator (left-to-right):
- Initialise the stack
- get an object
- if no more objects go to step 12
- if the object is a number go to step 9
- if the are not at least 2 numbers on the stack error
- do the operation on under and top (eg under ÷ top)
- remove the top two numbers and push the result on the stack
- repeat from step 2
- if stack full error
- push the number on the stack
- repeat form step 2
- If stack empty push 0 onto the stack
- print top number on stack
- clear the stack
- stop
A simple calculator would evaluate: "1 + 3 x 2" as "(1 + 3) x 2" = 4 x 2 = 8
The reverse polish calculator would have the same calculation entered as "1 3 + 2 x"

What are the disadvantage of bresenham's circle drawing algorithm?
The main advantage of Bresenham's algorithm is speed. The disadvantage of such a simple algorithm is that it is meant for basic line drawing. The "advanced" topic of antialiasing isn't part of Bresenham's algorithm, so to draw smooth lines, you'd want to look into a different algorithm.
