Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

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

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

Note:

Division between two integers should truncate toward zero.
The given RPN expression is always valid. That means the expression would always evaluate to a result and there won't be any divide by zero operation.
Example 1:

Input: ["2", "1", "+", "3", "*"]
Output: 9
Explanation: ((2 + 1) * 3) = 9
Example 2:

Input: ["4", "13", "5", "/", "+"]
Output: 6
Explanation: (4 + (13 / 5)) = 6
Example 3:

Input: ["10", "6", "9", "3", "+", "-11", "*", "/", "*", "17", "+", "5", "+"]
Output: 22
Explanation: 
  ((10 * (6 / ((9 + 3) * -11))) + 17) + 5
= ((10 * (6 / (12 * -11))) + 17) + 5
= ((10 * (6 / -132)) + 17) + 5
= ((10 * 0) + 17) + 5
= (0 + 17) + 5
= 17 + 5
= 22

My code:

class Solution:
    def evalRPN(self, tokens: List[str]) -> int:
        if len(tokens)==0:
            return None
        result=[]
        for item in tokens:
            #print(result)
            if item=="+":
                tmp1=result[-1]
                tmp2=result[-2]
                result[-2]=int(tmp1)+int(tmp2)
                result=result[:-1]
                continue
            if item=="-":
                tmp1=result[-1]
                tmp2=result[-2]
                result[-2]=int(tmp2)-int(tmp1)
                result=result[:-1]
                continue
            if item=="*":
                tmp1=result[-1]
                tmp2=result[-2]
                result[-2]=int(tmp2)*int(tmp1)
                result=result[:-1]
                continue
            if item=="/":
                tmp1=result[-1]
                tmp2=result[-2]
                result[-2]=int(int(tmp2)/int(tmp1))
                result=result[:-1]
                continue
            result.append(item)
            
        assert len(result)==1
        return int(result[0])
