  1. Suppose you have three stacks. Stack source is full of random data and stacks aux and dest are empty To sort the data in the source, you can repeatedly remove the largest value by popping each item off of source and pushing it onto aux, remembering the maximum value seen as you empty source. When source is empty, you pop each item off of aux and push it back onto source except for the largest one that you remembered, which you push to dest instead. If you repeat this process until both source and aux are empty, then you can pop the contents of dest in increasing order, successfully sorting the contents of the original stack.

    What is the worst-case performance of stacksort?

Use the following algorithm: (1) Create three stacks of characters: stk1, stk2, stk3. (2) Read the input infix expression one character at a time and push every character read ( other than ')' ) onto stk1. Do not push the character read if it is ')'. (3) As long as stk1 is not empty, do the following:            Fetch the top character ( call it c ) of stk1 and pop stk1.            if c is an alphabetic character (a-z),...
