It depends on the intended meaning. But I'm pretty sure that "5.3" is
supposed to be a floating point number and not (5 operatordot 3), so
it's wrong to split that apart. (Also it seems that the code treats
digits as operators, not operands?)
Also "abs(...)" is almost certainly intended to be a function call, so
it should be invoked after its parameters.
I think the correct output (using newlines as delimiters) would be:
-4
2
^
5.3
-2
1
-
abs
*
2

It is at least too incomplete to be useful. It handles only single
letters as operands and treats everything else (except parentheses) as an
operator, handling
only +, -, *, / and ^ correctly (actually, ^ is typically right
associative, so that's arguably wrong, too).
