Ans. 
Evaluate postfix expressions by applying operators to operands in a given order.
• Iterate through the postfix expression and push operands onto a stack

• When an operator is encountered, pop the required number of operands from the stack, apply the operator, and push the result back onto the stack

• Continue until the entire expression is evaluated and the final result is left on the stack
