Evaluation of Postfix expression using stack

Question

What is time and space complexity to evaluate postfix expression ?

Answer 1

Algorithm

1. Read all the symbols from left to right of the postfix expression

2. If the reading symbol is  $operand$ then push into the stack

3. If the reading symbol is  $operator$, then perform two pop operations, do the arithmetic operation and again pushed the resultant into the stack

4. finally, perform a pop operation and print the popped value as the final result.

Time complexity of evaluation algorithm is $O(n)$ where n is the number of characters in input expression.

Comments

Can u explain how the time complexity is O(n) ?

---

there are n characters in input expression array and we  are scanning it from left to right, so the loop will run for n times
