Q:

infix to postfix

I've been trying to figure out this problem. 
I have an assignment to make a basic calculator.
To do so i need the instructions in postfix.
I have found some code online, which worked but used gets(). 
I tried replacing the gets... but the program no longer works. Here is the code, i was hoping someone could find the error (using 2+4 as the input, it reads and recognizes 2 as a digit, then + as an operator, then 4 as a digit... then gets stuck in a loop somewhere along the line)
To be clear, using this code is fair game for my assignment, as long as I cite is as a reference (because it is only a small part).

    return (s->top == EMPTY) ? 1 : 0;
}

{
    printf("emptystack\n");
    s->top=EMPTY;
}

{

    if(s->top == (MAX-1))

    }
    else

        printf("add to stack\n");
        ++s->top;
        s->data[s->top]=item;

int main()

    char in[50],post[50],temp[50];

    strcpy(&post[0],"");
    printf("Enter Infix Expression : ");
    fflush(stdin);
    fgets(in,50,stdin);
    printf("%s",in);
    infix2postfix(&in[0],&post[0],1);
    printf("Postfix Expression is : %s\n",&post[0]);

    return 0;
}

Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it :). 

A:

fgets() includes a newline in the string when it gets to one, so you've got a string reading "2+4\n".  Replace the while (*i) with while (*i && *i != '\n') and see where that gets you.
