First line of the <STDIN> in List Context section

I am not sure if indeed this is an error but figured I'd call it out given the emphasis at the start of the section on the distinction between lists and arrays. The end of this line says "in an array context" whereas (I think) it should more generally say "in a list context" (the former is a special case of the latter).

4th and 5th exercise

Apparently exercise 4 was not marked as such. It just starts with '[10] Write a subroutine...' instead of '4. [10] Write a subroutine...'

Exercise 5 carries the number 4. It should read: 5. [10] Modify the previous program...'
