Explain how a stack could be used in the process of evaluating an expression in Reverse Polish notation.

Starting at the left hand side of the expression push values onto stack. Each time operator reached in the expression pop the top two values off the stack and apply the operator to them, then push the new value back onto the stack. When the end of the expression is reached the final value on the stack is the final result.
