Input : 20 - 3 + 5 * 2 Output : 2 * 5 + 3 - 20 Input : 25 + 3 - 2 * 11 Output : 11 * 2 - 3 + 25 Input : a + b * c - d / e Output : e / d - c * b + a
Approach : The approach to this problem is simple. We iterate the string from left to right and as soon we strike a symbol we insert the number and the symbol in the beginning of the resultant string.
C++
