Algorithm for infix to prefix conversion?

Algorithm to Convert Infix to Prefix Form

Suppose A is an arithmetic expression written in infix form. The algorithm finds equivalent prefix expression B.

Step 1. Push ")" onto STACK, and add "(" to end of the A

Step 2. Scan A from right to left and repeat step 3 to 6 for each element of A until the STACK is empty

Step 3. If an operand is encountered add it to B

Step 4. If a right parenthesis is encountered push it onto STACK

Step 5. If an operator is encountered then:

a. Repeatedly pop from STACK and add to B each operator (on the top of STACK) which has same or higher precedence than the operator.

b. Add operator to STACK

Step 6. If left parenthesis is encontered then

a. Repeatedly pop from the STACK and add to B (each operator on top of stack until a left parenthesis is encounterd)

b. Remove the left parenthesis

Step 7. Exit
