Evaluate the value of an arithmetic expression in Reverse Polish Notation.

Valid operators are +, -, *, /. Each operand may be an integer or another expression.

Some examples:

  ["2", "1", "+", "3", "*"] -> ((2 + 1) * 3) -> 9
  ["4", "13", "5", "/", "+"] -> (4 + (13 / 5)) -> 6

    Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<Integer>();
    for (int p = 0; p < tokens.length; p ++) {
    	char cur = tokens[p].charAt(0);
    	if (cur >= '0' && cur <= '9'
    			|| tokens[p].length() > 1)

    		int num2 = stack.pop();

    return stack.pop();
