+### solveRPN
+
+Solves the given mathematical expression in [reverse polish notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation).
+Throws appropriate errors if there are unrecognized symbols or the expression is wrong.
+
+Use a dictionary, `OPERATORS` to specify each operator's matching mathematical operation.
+Use `String.replace()` with a regular expression to replace `^` with `**`, `String.split()` to tokenize the string and `Array.filter()` to remove empty tokens.
+Use `Array.forEach()` to parse each `symbol`, evaluate it as a numeric value or operator and solve the mathematical expression.
+Numeric values are converted to floating point numbers and pushed to a `stack`, while operators are evaluated using the `OPERATORS` dictionary and pop elements from the `stack` to apply operations.
