Prefix_to_postfix.py

"""
An expression is called prefix , if the operator appears in the expression before the operands. (operator operand operand)
An expression is called postfix , if the operator appears in the expression after the operands . (operand operand operator)
The program below accepts an expression in prefix and outputs the corresponding postfix expression .
