Exercise 7.5 - Postfix calculator using scanf¶
Question¶
Rewrite the postfix calculator of Chapter 4 to use scanf and/or sscanf to do the input and number conversion.

Explanation¶
In this Reverse Polish Notation Calculator, we use scanf in the getch function. Instead of getchar this uses the function scanf from the input output library introduced in this chapter.
#define BUFSIZE 100
char buf[BUFSIZE];
int bufp = 0;
int getch(void) {
char c;
if (bufp > 0) {
return buf[--bufp];
} else {
scanf("%c", &c);
return c;
}
}
