cout queues


i want to output a prefix expression to a postfix expression.. most of the stuff are converted using queues and stacks..

here's the code:

Code:
#include <ctype.h>

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/utility.h"

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/queue.h"

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/stack.h"

using namespace std;



void input (Queue &);

void pre_to_post (Queue &, Queue &);

void output (Queue);

bool is_operator (char);



main ()

{ 

/*	Pre:	iostream.h, utility.h, Queue.h, and Stack.h included.

	Post:	Program has completed successfully. */

	Queue prefixQ, postfixQ;

	char answer;



	do

	{

		input (prefixQ);

		pre_to_post (prefixQ, postfixQ);

		output (postfixQ);

		cout << "Continue? N for NO: ";

		cin >> answer;

	}

	while( !( answer == 'n' || answer == 'N' ) );

	return 0;

}







bool is_operator (char c)

{ 

//	Pre:	None.

//	Post:	Returns true if valid arithmetic operator, false if not.

	

	return ((c == '+') || (c == '-') || (c == '*') || (c == '/')) ? true : false;

}







void input( Queue& prefixQ )

{

//	Pre:	prefixQ in main has been initialized.

//	Post:	prefixQ now contains a valid prefix expression.

	

	bool error;

	char temp[MAXQUEUE];

	int i;

	do

	{

		error = true;

		cout << "\nEnter a prefix expression: ";

		cin.getline(temp, MAXQUEUE, '\n' );



		for( i = 0; temp[i] != NULL && i < MAXQUEUE; i++ )

		{

			if( !( isalnum( temp[i] ) ||  is_operator( temp[i] ) ) )

			{

				error = true;

				cout << "\nERROR... Invalid characters. Try again.";

			}

			else

				error = false;

		}

	}

	while( error );



	for( i = 0; temp[i] != NULL; i++ )

		prefixQ.append( temp[i] );

}







void pre_to_post( Queue& prefixQ, Queue& postfixQ ){

//	Pre:	prefixQ hold valid prefix expression. postfixQ initialized.

//	Post:	postfixQ holds the equivalent postfix expression( to prefixQ ).

	char c;

	Stack opStack;

	Stack_entry temp;

	

	while( !prefixQ.empty() )

	{

		prefixQ.retrieve (c);

		

		if (is_operator (c))

		{		

			temp.element = c;

			temp.flag = false;

			opStack.push( temp );



//			cout << "\n\n";

//			opStack.showContents();

//			cout << "--------opStack--------\n" ;

//			cout << "Found an operator, pushing onto stack.\n";

//			cout << "prefixQ->\n";

//			prefixQ.changeToString();

//			cout << "postfixQ->\n";

//			postfixQ.changeToString();

		}

		else if (isalnum (c))

		{

			postfixQ.append (c);			//append char to postfixQ

			opStack.top (temp);			//view top of stack & copy

			if (temp.flag)

			{				//if flag is on

				do

				{

					postfixQ.append (temp.element);

					opStack.pop();			



//					cout << "\n\n";

//					opStack.showContents();

//					cout << "--------opStack--------\n";

//					cout << "True flag found, appending to postfixQ.\n";



					opStack.top (temp);

				}

				while (temp.flag);		//continue to append true ops to postfixQ

			}

			else

			{							//else flag is not on

				temp.flag = true;				//switch flag of copy on

				opStack.pop ();					//pop old false op
				opStack.push (temp);			//push new with true op

//				cout << "\n\n";
//				opStack.showContents();
//				cout << "--------opStack--------\n";
//				cout << "Flag changed from false to true.\n";
			}//   /*-A+BCDE
		}		
		prefixQ.serve();

	} //while
	
	postfixQ.append( temp.element );
	opStack.pop();


//	cout << "\n\n";
//	opStack.showContents();
//	cout << "--------opStack--------\n";
//	cout << "Last guy.\n";

	while( !prefixQ.empty() ) prefixQ.serve();
}



void output( Queue postfixQ )
/*	Pre:	postfixQ holds valid postfix expression.
	Post:	postfixQ now output to screen. */
{
	int i=0;
	cout << "blah postfixQ blah";
	for (i; i<MAXQUEUE; i++)
		cout << "Postfix is " << postfixQ.retrieve() << endl;

}



this is the only part i'm concerned with..

Code:
void output( Queue postfixQ )
/*	Pre:	postfixQ holds valid postfix expression.
	Post:	postfixQ now output to screen. */
{
	int i=0;
	cout << "blah postfixQ blah";

        for (i; i<MAXQUEUE; i++)
              cout << "Postfix is " << postfixQ.retrieve() << endl;
}



this is my queue.h file..

Code:
#ifndef QUEUE_H

#define QUEUE_H



typedef char Queue_entry;



const int MAXQUEUE = 10;



class Queue{

public:

	Queue();

	bool empty() const;

	Error_code serve();

	Error_code append(const Queue_entry &item);

	Error_code retrieve(Queue_entry &item) const;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	void changeToString();

///////////^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

protected:

	int count;

	int front, rear;

	Queue_entry entry[MAXQUEUE];

};



#endif

this is the queue.cpp file..

Code:
#include <iostream.h>

//////////^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/utility.h"

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/stack.h"

#include "/root/Projects/lab2/include/queue.h"



Queue::Queue(){

/* Post: Queue initialized to empty. */

	count = 0;

	rear = MAXQUEUE - 1;

	front = 0;

}



bool Queue::empty() const{

/* Post Returns true if the Queue is empty, otherwise return false. */

	return count == 0;

}



Error_code Queue::append( const Queue_entry &item ){

/* Post:	"item" is added to the read of the Queue. If the Queue is full, return an

			Error_code of overflow and leave the Queue unchanged. */

	if( count >= MAXQUEUE) return overflow;

	count++;

	rear = ( ( rear + 1 ) == MAXQUEUE ) ? 0 : ( rear + 1 );

	entry[rear] = item;

	return success;

}



Error_code Queue::serve(){

/* Post:	The front of the Queue is removed. If the Queue is empty return an

			Error_code of underflow. */

	if( count <= 0 ) return underflow;

	count --;

	front = ( ( front + 1 ) == MAXQUEUE ) ? 0 : ( front + 1 );

	return success;

}



Error_code Queue::retrieve( Queue_entry &item ) const{

/* Post:	The front of the Queue retrieved to the output parameter item. If the

			Queue is empty return an Error_code of underflow. */

	if( count <= 0 ) return underflow;

	item = entry[front];

	return success;

}

I am sorry but what is your question?
Do you get an error or something?

Check your program to determine a part of it if it has some problems (the program posted is too large!, I don't like to read all of that). Please specify a short (5~35 lines) of your code.

i want to output the value of postfixQ in the output () function..

the queue.h and queue.cpp file was only included if you needed to take a peek at how class Queue works..

postfixQ and prefixQ are both classes of Queue.. to put it short, i rearranged prefixQ to look different in postfixQ using queues in the pre_to_post () function.. i am unfamiliar on how to output contents of a queue (FIFO)..

suggestions..?

I'm not sure, but if your postfix wxpression is succesfully made, just output them until underflow returned from output().
What's the problem with output() function?
To extract output of a Q you should just DeQueue() while your Q is not empty.
