+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 7-5: Rewrite the postfix calculator of Chapter 4 to use scanf
+ * and/or sscanf to do the input and number conversion.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ * scanf wants allocated memory of some sort, meaning you're either going
+ * to pass it a pointer (with malloc()'d memory) or you're passing a variable
+ * with the unary & (address-of) operator. Failing to use scanf correctly
+ * _will_ create runtime problems! gcc won't tell you what happens without
+ * -Wall and -Wextra, but scanf segfaults by trying to access an uninitialized
+ * pointer.
+ *
+ * Thus there are two ways to use scanf:
+ *
+ * int foo = 0;
+ * scanf("%d", &foo);
+ * // do stuff
+ *
+ * -- or --
+ *
+ * int *foo = malloc(sizeof(int));
+ * scanf("%d", foo);
+ * // do stuff
+ * free(foo);
+ *
+ * For the sake of sanity in an easy exercise, I'll be using the former form
+ * since a few values on the stack won't hurt anything.
