This exercise was somewhat irritating until I caved and used the code in
section 5.6 like the exercise suggested. The solution is not what I
think is clean, but given that [mc]*alloc haven't been covered yet, it's
probably the best one can muster.
Once I used the code in ยง5.6, the program fell into place. Still, it was
a neat exercise.

This one was pretty rough. At first I wanted to include a bunch of
error-catching and "smart" stuff. When I took a second look at it and
realized `itoa` returns 0 on a string, things became a bit easier. I
may have been able to outsource a few things to a function or two, but
overall I think it worked out.

This exercise was fun and taught me a bit about initializing arrays and
working with pointers.

This exercise was not very fun or interesting. While I somewhat enjoyed
learning to use pointers, this was a bunch of busywork. It felt like
homework, and that's terrible. It's the first exercise I've outright
disliked. If you're writing a programming book, *don't* make exercises
like this one!

This exercise seemed like it was designed to "pull it all together"
with things learned in the previous few pages. Not much new in terms
of techniques, but more a test to see how you could blend everything
together.

Detailed answers below the question will only occur now if I cannot
explain myself well enough in code and nearby comments. I'm looking
to learn how to write better comments so there's less need for prose.
