Write a program that has the followang methods a. An "evaluate" method receives a String containing a postfix expression and returns the result using the built-in Stack class. Note that pseudocode is provided in the textbook (Figure 6.8 on p 347). Two compute("23+ 4 *") Returns 20.0 compute("6 5 23+ 83) Retums 288 .0 b.

Initialize a stack of double numbers 2. do if (the next input is a number) Read the next input and push it onto the stack. else Read the next character, which is an operation symbol. Pop two numbers off the stack. Combine the two numbers with the operation (using the second number popped as the left operand) and push the result onto the stack. while (there is more of the expression to read) 3. At this point, the stack contains one number, which is the value of the expression.
