My own infix to prefix approach. What do you think?
Hi all. After using the Casio fx-115es Plus, Sharp EL-W516X and TI-36 Pro, I noticed a pattern to its two-number functions like Polar & Rectangular conversion. The form I noticed was func(a,b). In addition, studying the two prefix examples in 'Everything You've Always Wanted To Know About RPN...,' I thought my ideas could be expanded.

The way I see it is if I interpret each one or two number operation as func(arg1, arg2...) or func(arg), then, after writing this form of the expression out, I replace the parenthese and commas with spaces for readability and syntax, the end result is a prefix expression.

For example: (2+3)x(4+5) becomes x(+(2,3),+(4,5)).
Thus, replacing parentheses and commas with spaces gives x + 2 3 + 4 5 as the decomposed result.

Do you think my methodology is plausible and valid?
