Java Program to Construct an Expression Tree for an Prefix Expression

This is a java program to construct an expression tree using prefix expression and perform the infix, prefix and postfix traversal of the expression tree. The leaves of a binary expression tree are operands, such as constants or variable names, and the other nodes contain operators. These particular trees happen to be binary, because all of the operations are binary, and although this is the simplest case, it is possible for nodes to have more than two children. It is also possible for a node to have only one child, as is the case with the unary minus operator. An expression tree, T, can be evaluated by applying the operator at the root to the values obtained by recursively evaluating the left and right subtrees.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Construct an Expression Tree for an Prefix Expression. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
