It's given in the Input Section of the assignment page.

No, but notice that "1 2 x 3 4 5 6 -> 7 8" is correct input
How about five alphabet characters?
Alphabetic characters? No.
How about six integers or six alphabet characters?
No.
etc.
No.
Sliding input should have a "->".
Yes.
Other signs like "#" or ">" are incorrect input?
Yes.
Are you going to supply an input file for the assignment?
No; you're on your own.
Our programs are required to read input from std-in. Do you mean the input
file name is still read from command line?
No; your program reads from std-in. If you poke around a bit, you'll see that
a command of the form "a.out < file" does not have any command-line arguments.
