Member Function Documentation

◆ convert()

QString Isis::InfixToPostfix::convert ( const QString &  infix)

This method converts infix to postfix.

It uses an enhanced verion of the algorithm found on page 159 of "Data Structures & Algorithms in Java" Second Edition by Robert Lafore. First, we prep the equation with TokenizeEquation and then parse through it using the known-good algorithm.

Parameters
infixThe infix equation
Returns
IString The postfix equation

◆ findOperator()

InfixOperator * Isis::InfixToPostfix::findOperator ( QString  representation)
protectedvirtual

This method will return a pointer to the operator represented by 'representation.

' Because in this model a function is an operator, this will return a pointer to functions as well (in a base class pointer).

Parameters
representationThe symbolic representation of the operator, such as '+'
Returns
InfixOperator* A pointer to the operator object that contains known information about the operator

Reimplemented in Isis::CubeInfixToPostfix, and Isis::InlineInfixToPostfix.

References _FILEINFO_.

◆ isKnownSymbol()

bool Isis::InfixToPostfix::isKnownSymbol ( QString  representation)
protectedvirtual

This method will return true if it believes the argument represents a valid function or operator.

Parameters
representationThe symbolic representation of the operator, such as 'sin'
Returns
bool True if it looks valid, false if it's not known

Reimplemented in Isis::CubeInfixToPostfix, and Isis::InlineInfixToPostfix.

Referenced by Isis::InlineInfixToPostfix::isKnownSymbol().

◆ tokenizeEquation()

QString Isis::InfixToPostfix::tokenizeEquation ( const QString &  equation)

This method will add spaces between all operators and numbers, making it possible to get each element of the equation one by one.

It will also parse out the function calls, adding parenthesis where needed so the user doesn't have to. The result is an equation ready for parsing (but NOT fully parenthesized, just enough to make sure our algorithm makes no mistakes).

Parameters
equationAn unformatted infix equation
Returns
IString A tokenized equation with additional parentheses
