# Polish notation

Reverse Polish notation (RPN) is a method for representing expressions in which the operator symbol is placed after the arguments being operated on.
Polish notation, in which the operator comes before the operands, was invented in the 1920s by the Polish mathematician Jan Lucasiewicz.
In the late 1950s, Australian philosopher and computer scientist Charles L. Hamblin suggested placing the operator after the operands and hence created reverse polish notation.

RPN has the property that brackets are not required to represent the order of evaluation or grouping of the terms.
RPN expressions are simply evaluated from left to right and this greatly simplifies the computation of the expression within computer programs.
As an example, the arithmetic expression (3+4)*5 can be expressed in RPN as 3 4 + 5 *.

Reverse Polish notation, also known as postfix notation, contrasts with the infix notation of standard arithmetic expressions in which the operator symbol appears between the operands. So Polish notation just as prefix notation.

Now, give you a string of standard arithmetic expressions, please tell me the Polish notation and the value of expressions.

There’re have multi-case. Every case put in one line, the expressions just contain some positive integers(all less than 100, the number of integers less than 20), bi-operand operators(only have 3 kinds : +,-,*) and some brackets’(‘,’)’.
you can assume the expressions was valid.

1+2-3*(4-5)
1+2*(3-4)-5*6

Case 1:
- + 1 2 * 3 - 4 5
6
Case 2:
- + 1 * 2 - 3 4 * 5 6
-31

1. 题目需要求解的是最小值，而且没有考虑可能存在环，比如
0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 0 0
1 0 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
会陷入死循环

2. 其实国内大部分公司对算法都不够重视。特别是中小型公司老板根本都不懂技术，也不懂什么是算法，从而也不要求程序员懂什么算法，做程序从来不考虑性能问题，只要页面能显示出来就是好程序，这是国内的现状，很无奈。

3. 老实说，这种方法就是穷举，复杂度是2^n，之所以能够AC是应为题目的测试数据有问题，要么数据量很小，要么能够得到k == t，否则即使n = 30，也要很久才能得出结果，本人亲测
