Infix to Postfix conversion in C++ using stack. We are assuming that both operators and operands in input will be single character.
/*
Infix to postfix conversion in C++
Input Postfix expression must be in a desired format.
Operands and operator, both must be single character.
Only '+' , '-' , '*', '/' and '$' (for exponentiation) operators are expected.
