postfix
Postfix, also known as Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), is a mathematical notation in which every operator follows all of its operands. It is a method for expressing mathematical equations that eliminates the need for parentheses to indicate priority of operations. In computer science, it is often used in stack-based and tree-based data structures. Beyond mathematics, postfix can also refer to a suffix or anything that comes after or at the end of something else.
