The above is a bit harsh but I agree it's unnecessarily ambigious. It would be clearer if the original expression were "A + B * C - D". [[Special:Contributions/208.97.218.10|208.97.218.10]] ([[User talk:208.97.218.10|talk]]) 14:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC) |

This example sucks. I don't think I could construct a more frustrating and ambiguous example. The ONE part of the algorithm that has any subtlety (step g) is completely masked by this illustration. Which + ends up on the stack? Which one's on the left?
Why in the world would you put two +s in there? Why? It's like you're intentionally making people misunderstand the algorithm. My god.
