[leetcode]Evaluate Reverse Polish Notation @ Python

原题地址:https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/evaluate-reverse-polish-notation/

题意:

Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.

Valid operators are +-*/. Each operand may be an integer or another expression.

Some examples:

  ["2", "1", "+", "3", "*"] -> ((2 + 1) * 3) -> 9
  ["4", "13", "5", "/", "+"] -> (4 + (13 / 5)) -> 6

解题思路:这道题是经典的逆波兰式求值。具体思路是:开辟一个空栈,遇到数字压栈,遇到运算符弹出栈中的两个数进行运算,并将运算结果压栈,最后栈中只剩下一个数时,就是所求结果。这里需要注意的一点是python中的'/'除法和c语言不太一样。在python中,(-1)/2=-1,而在c语言中,(-1)/2=0。也就是c语言中,除法是向零取整,即舍弃小数点后的数。而在python中,是向下取整的。而这道题的oj是默认的c语言中的语法,所以需要在遇到'/'的时候注意一下。

代码:

class Solution:
    # @param tokens, a list of string
    # @return an integer
    def evalRPN(self, tokens):
        stack = []
        for i in range(0,len(tokens)):
            if tokens[i] != '+' and tokens[i] != '-' and tokens[i] != '*' and tokens[i] != '/':
                stack.append(int(tokens[i]))
            else:
                a = stack.pop()
                b = stack.pop()
                if tokens[i] == '+':
                    stack.append(a+b)
                if tokens[i] == '-':
                    stack.append(b-a)
                if tokens[i] == '*':
                    stack.append(a*b)
                if tokens[i] == '/':
                    if a*b < 0:
                        stack.append(-((-b)/a))
                    else:
                        stack.append(b/a)
        return stack.pop()
