"999 is enough for anybody" triple-zero padding (#18)
When I hit 999 exercises, I will finally have reached the ultimate state of soteriological release and no more exercises will be needed. The cycle will be complete. All that will be left is perfect quietude, freedom, and highest happiness.

-// Check this out:
-//
-// var foo: u8 = 5; // foo is 5
-// var bar: *u8 = &foo; // bar is a pointer
-//
-// What is a pointer? It's a reference to a value. In this example
-// bar is a reference to the memory space that currently contains the
-// value 5.
-//
-// A cheatsheet given the above declarations:
-//
-// u8 the type of a u8 value
-// foo the value 5
-// *u8 the type of a pointer to a u8 value
-// &foo a reference to foo
-// bar a pointer to the value at foo
-// bar.* the value 5 (the dereferenced value "at" bar)
-//
-// We'll see why pointers are useful in a moment. For now, see if you
-// can make this example work!
