Implementing Infix to Postfix Conversion in Go

Understanding how computers process mathematical expressions is a core skill for any programmer. This course focuses on the fundamental stack-based algorithm used to convert human-readable infix notation into machine-friendly postfix notation. By the end of this course, you will have designed, implemented, and tested a complete infix-to-postfix conversion tool using the Go programming language, gaining deep insight into algorithm design and data structure application. What you'll learn: * Understand the differences between infix, prefix, and postfix notations and their uses in computation. * Implement and manage the Stack data structure essential for parsing expressions using idiomatic Go. * Master the rules for operator precedence and associativity to correctly sequence mathematical operations. * Apply the stack-based algorithm to systematically convert complex arithmetic expressions. * Practice writing robust, maintainable Go code and verify your conversion logic using built-in unit testing methods. The course begins with theoretical foundations and data structure implementation, then guides you step-by-step through developing the conversion logic and handling edge cases. We conclude by applying testing techniques to ensure the algorithm's correctness. This course is designed for beginner programmers familiar with basic Go syntax who want to learn core data structures and algorithm implementation. No prior knowledge of expression parsing or advanced algorithms is required. Read through the explanations and practice exercises to solidify your understanding of fundamental parsing algorithms.
