I am trying to understand what exactly is being asked of me, and maybe you can give me some intuition into how to think about solving this problem. I need to write a program in Java that evaluates a Lisp arithmetic expression but the solution has to follow specific instructions.
I need to evaluate something like this:
(+\t(- 6)\n\t(/\t(+ 3)\n\t\t(- \t(+ 1 1)\n\t\t\t3\n\t\t\t1)\n\t\t(*))\n\t(* 2 3 4))
I am supposed to implement a context stack which is this
Stack<Queue<Double>> contextStack
so I am guessing it is a stack of queues. I also have a class ExpressionScanner which scans through the string and finds operators and operands:
public class ExpressionScanner
{
private String e;
private int position;
public ExpressionScanner(String e)
{
this.e = e;
this.position = 0;
}
public boolean hasNextOperator()
{
skipWhiteSpace();
return position < e.length() && isOperator(e.charAt(position));
}
public char nextOperator()
{
skipWhiteSpace();
return e.charAt(position++);
}
public boolean hasNextOperand()
{
skipWhiteSpace();
return position < e.length() && isDigit(e.charAt(position));
}
public int nextOperand()
{
skipWhiteSpace();
int operand = 0;
while (e.charAt(position) >= '0' && e.charAt(position) <='9')
operand = 10 * operand + e.charAt(position++) - '0';
return operand;
}
private void skipWhiteSpace()
{
char c;
while (position < e.length() && ((c = e.charAt(position)) == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\n'))
position++;
return;
}
private static boolean isOperator(char c)
{
return c == '(' || c == '+' || c == '-' || c == '*' || c == '/' || c == ')';
}
private static boolean isDigit(char c)
{
return c >= '0' && c <= '9';
}
} /*201340*/
And this is where my solution is supposed to go in, but I am a little bit frustrated because I don't know how to use that stack of queues to implement a solution.
import java.util.Queue;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Stack;
public class IterativeEvaluator
{
private ExpressionScanner expression;
public IterativeEvaluator (String expression)
{
this.expression = new ExpressionScanner(expression);
}
public double evaluate(Queue<Double> operandQueue)
{
// write your code here to create an explicit context stack
char operator = ' ';
double operand = 0.0;
// write your code here to evaluate the LISP expression iteratively
// you will need to use an explicit stack to push and pop context objects
}
public static void main(String [] args)
{
String s =
"(+\t(- 6)\n\t(/\t(+ 3)\n\t\t(- \t(+ 1 1)\n\t\t\t3\n\t\t\t1)\n\t\t(*))\n\t(* 2 3 4))"; // = 16.5
IterativeEvaluator myEvaluator = new IterativeEvaluator(s);
System.out.println("Evaluating LISP Expression:\n" + s);
System.out.println("Value is: " + myEvaluator.evaluate(null));
}
} /* 201340 */
Thanks for any help.
This is a solution to the problem.
