Evaluate a postfix assessment-scoring expression.

Problem

You are implementing evaluate a postfix assessment-scoring expression. The input is one JSON value. Return exactly the JSON or scalar result described by the examples, with stable ordering and no extra logging. Evaluate a valid reverse-Polish expression with truncating integer division. Explain your reasoning and complexity during interview review; the judge evaluates only the returned result.
Input contract

One UTF-8 JSON value matching the structures shown in the examples.

Output contract

One deterministic JSON value or scalar with no explanatory text.

Target complexity

O(n) time, O(n) space

Judge protocol

function-stdin-json-v1

Examples

Example 1
Input: {"tokens":["3","3","+","4","*"]}
Output: 24

This example demonstrates the core stacks queues invariant.

Example 2
Input: {"tokens":["5","2","-"]}
Output: 3

This example covers the empty or minimum boundary.

Constraints

  • Input is valid UTF-8 JSON and is at most 64 KB.
  • Output must be deterministic for identical input.
  • Do not use network access, persistent filesystem writes, subprocesses, or environment secrets.
  • Handle the empty or minimum boundary shown in the examples.
