During a discussion with Peter Tueben, the GIPSY package came up as a way to implement infix notation. See its implementation in NEMO here: https://github.com/teuben/nemo/blob/master/src/scripts/install_gipsy.csh

As you say, this is a feature of the infix notation, so it doesn't yet exist ;-).

Currently Arithmetic only works in reverse polish notation and only has the tools for that. Its up to you to define it for your implementation of the infix notation ;-).

I mean the order in which operations are executed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

In infix expressions, the operator precedence is required to resolve ambiguities. Operator Precedence is just like BDMAS rule of mathematics.
Eg: 1 + 2 3 , we need to calculate 2 3 first and then add it to 1 because * has higher operator precedence than +.

I have seen the reverse polish operations in arithmetic. It takes input of arithmeticparams and gal_list_str_t contains all the tokens.

I don't really understand what you mean by "precedence order of all operators". Please be more elaborate! Did you look at how the reverse polish operation is managed in Arithmetic? Your function should have similar inputs ;-).

To implement the algorithm, we need a precedence order of all operators. Is there an order already defined or should I define one ? If I have to define one, what things to keep in mind?

If you have the time, that would be great ;-)!

Yes, its best to avoid library technicalities and start with a simple C source. Once it works nicely, you can put it into Gnuastro. Just look at the existing parsing methodology and write your library so the inputs are the same.

While my copyright forms are being processed and till you are able to review the work on units library, can I work on this ? Also, should I begin with a similar approach first write an independent C file to convert infix notation to postfix and then proceed with integrating it in the library ?

In task #13574 a program to do image arithmetic was created (ImageArithmetic). But to be simply implemented it uses the postfix or reverse polish notation. Therefore as explained in that task, it is important for easy usability that it change the notation to the Infix notation where the operators are placed between the operands and it includes parenthesis. As explained in that task, a good way to do this might be through the Shunting-yard algorithm which translates infix notation to postfix notation which ImageArithmetic currently uses:

There is a very nice explanation with a full program here:
