Fix reverse polish conversion #143

Open PTrottier opened 4 years ago

PTrottier commented 4 years ago

The reverse polish notation equivalent for 1 + 2 + 6 looked off to me, so I checked with: https://raj457036.github.io/Simple-Tools/prefixAndPostfixConvertor.html

Indeed, it should be + + 1 2 6 (it is missing an operator)

While this is technically true I think in the case of this book the current text is more clean in explaining how it works.

Ok, sounds good, feel free to close this. Thanks for your dedication to the book, it is truly a splendid resource.

Or perhaps the example could be simpler, just + 1 2, so that it remains correct and is easier to grasp.
