Program to convert expression in postfix form to prefix form.

Code for Program to convert expression in postfix form to prefix form in C Programming

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX 50

struct postfix

    char stack[MAX][MAX], target[MAX] ;
    char temp1[2], temp2[2] ;

void initpostfix ( struct postfix * ) ;
void setexpr ( struct postfix *, char * ) ;
void push ( struct postfix *, char * ) ;
void pop ( struct postfix *, char * ) ;
void convert ( struct postfix * ) ;
void show ( struct postfix ) ;

void main( )
{

    printf ( "\nEnter an expression in postfix form: " ) ;
    gets ( expr ) ;

    setexpr ( &q, expr ) ;
    convert ( &q ) ;

    printf ( "\nThe Prefix expression is: " ) ;
    show ( q ) ;

    getch( ) ;
}

/* initializes the elements of the structure */
