Evaluate a short algebraic expression using code with three-operand instructions. The expression should have a minimum of three operands and 2 operators. Operands may be alpha or numeric.

Shifting and Instructions

Evaluate a short algebraic expression using code with three-operand instructions. The expression should have a minimum of three operands and 2 operators. Operands may be alpha or numeric.

You may only use registers A through F, plus X and T.

Registers A through F may not be changed, i.e. their values are fixed.

Register T may be used as a temporary register, and Register X must contain the final answer.

Show the postfix for the expression, and then use a stack to evaluate the expression.

As an example, consider X=A +B + C * D

The three-operand instructions would be:

ADD X, A, B

MUL T, C, D

ADD X, X, T

The Postfix would be AB+CD*+

The stack would be:

PUSH / A onto the stack

PUSH / B onto the stack

ADD /pop A & B, add them, and push the answer back on the stack

PUSH /C

PUSH / D

MUL /pop C & D, multiply them, and push the answer back on the stack

ADD / pop X & T, add them, and push the answer back on the stack

POP / X off the stack

It is important to note that operational hierarchy dictates that

we first perform all arithmetic inside inner parentheses;

then inside outer parentheses;

then do multiplication and division operations before addition and subtraction operations.

The equation I want to use is X = A*B*C+D
