1. reverse polish notation

   Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), also known as postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which every operator follows all of its operands. It is a way of writing algebraic expressions that eliminates the need for parentheses to indicate priorities for the evaluation of operations. This notation was first proposed in 1924 by the Polish mathematician Jan Lukasiewicz. The key idea in RPN is that operators act on values that immediately precede them. For example, in RPN, the expression 2 3 + 4 * would be equivalent to (2 + 3) * 4 in conventional notation.

1. Reverse Polish notation

   Reverse Polish notation is a mathematical notation in which every operator follows all of its operands, in contrast to Polish notation, which puts the operator in the prefix position. It is also known as postfix notation and is parenthesis-free as long as operator arities are fixed. The description "Polish" refers to the nationality of logician Jan Łukasiewicz, who invented Polish notation in the 1920s. The reverse Polish scheme was proposed in 1954 by Burks, Warren, and Wright and was independently reinvented by F. L. Bauer and E. W. Dijkstra in the early 1960s to reduce computer memory access and utilize the stack to evaluate expressions. The algorithms and notation for this scheme were extended by Australian philosopher and computer scientist Charles Hamblin in the mid-1950s. During the 1970s and 1980s, RPN was known to many calculator users, as it was used in some handheld calculators of the time designed for advanced users: for example, the HP-10C series and Sinclair Scientific calculators. In computer science, postfix notation is often used in stack-based and concatenative programming languages. It is also common in dataflow and pipeline-based systems, including Unix pipelines.
