Postfix Notation Evaluator Function

Suppose you are given the following string to parse out as a mathematical operation in postfix notation

3 4 + 5 6 + * to parse out

That is in normal infix notation (3 + 4) * (5 + 6). Therefore the answer for both should be 77

To do this you should create a stack of last in first out and evaluate is the current token an operation or a number literal. Came up with this which uses the eval function to run the operation and place the intermediate result back onto the stack

Solution

def reverse_polish_evaluator(expression):
    current = []
    for token in expression.split():
        if token.isdigit():
            current.append(float(token))
            continue
        current.append(eval(f'{current.pop()} {token} {current.pop()}'))
    return current.pop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(reverse_polish_evaluator("3 4 + 5 6 + *"))
