Parameters

opThe operator
theStackThe operator stack

int argNum,

Definition at line 694 of file InfixToPostfix.cpp.

◆ cleanSpaces()

QString Isis::InfixToPostfix::cleanSpaces ( QString equation)
private

This function takes a space-delimited string and removes empty delimiters.

In order words, it compresses the spaces. This is used to keep strings small, clean, and remove the necessity to check for empty tokens constantly.

That is, if your string is "a b" the result will be "a b".

Parameters
equationA space-delimited string with excessive spaces
Returns
IString A space-delimited string with data between every pair of spaces

◆ 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::InlineInfixToPostfix, and Isis::CubeInfixToPostfix.

◆ formatFunctionCalls()

QString Isis::InfixToPostfix::formatFunctionCalls ( QString equation)
private

This method looks through equation for function calls, parenthesizes them, and calls itself again with each argument in order to parse any embedded functions.

This ensures order of operations holds for cases like sin(.5)^2. This method might add too many parentheses, but that is harmless. This does not affect operators (excepting –) or numbers. Only functions. The input should be space-delimited.

Parameters
equationThe unparenthesized equation
Returns
IString The parenthesized equation

This code block is for multi-parameter functions. Functions with 1+ parameters are parsed here, excepting the negation (with no parentheses) which is done just above.

We figure out the arguments by looking for commas, outside of all parentheses, for each argument up until the last one. We look for an extra closing parenthesis for the last argument. When we figure out what an argument is, we recursively call FormatFunctionCalls to format any and all functionality inside of the argument.

◆ initialize()

void Isis::InfixToPostfix::initialize ( )
private

This populates the known operators/functions list.

If the operators list is not empty, this function will do nothing.

◆ isFunction()

bool Isis::InfixToPostfix::isFunction ( QString representation)
private

This method will return true if 'representation' is a known function.

Parameters
representationThe symbolic representation of a function, such as 'abs'
Returns
bool True if it's a known function, false otherwise

◆ 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

◆ 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

◆ uninitialize()

void Isis::InfixToPostfix::uninitialize ( )
