Reverse Polish Notation🔗ℹ

 (require rpn) package: rpn

Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) is a way of writing expressions commonly found in calculators and Forth-like programming languages. In RPN, an expression is a list of instructions for manipulating data on a stack. The most basic instruction is to push a value onto the stack. Function call instructions pop a function’s arguments off the stack and push its results onto the stack. The rpn library represents an RPN program as a call to the rpn function with the program instructions as arguments.

Examples:
> (rpn 1)

(rpn-stack 1)

> (rpn 1 2 3)

(rpn-stack 1 2 3)

> (rpn 1 2 3 r*)

(rpn-stack 1 6)

> (rpn 1 2 3 r* r+)

(rpn-stack 7)

> (rpn 1 2 3 r* r+ 2)

(rpn-stack 7 2)

> (rpn 1 2 3 r* r+ 2 r-)
