The algorithm for converting an infix expression to a postfix expression involves handling operators according to their precedence and associativity. In the given expression, operations inside parentheses are done first, followed by multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally addition and subtraction (from left to right). Thus, the expression (14 + 5) - 8 * 4 / 2 is converted to postfix as 14 5 + 8 4 * 2 / -.
