The Original Code

Consider the following C function:

int powmod(int base, int exp, int modulus) {
  int accum = 1, i = 0, basepow2 = base;
  while ((exp >> i) > 0) {
    if (((exp >> i) & 1) == 1) 
      accum = (accum * basepow2) % modulus;
    basepow2 = (basepow2 * basepow2) % modulus;
    i++;
  }
  return accum;
}

Postfix Code

The Postfix code for the above function is as follows:
