As a computer science student, it was really hard to accept his death. He was the very individual who revolutionized the digital age with the creation of the programming language C and Unix along with his colleague Ken Thompson at the Bell Laboratories.
The entire world of computer science revolves around programming with C which has influenced the development of several other programming languages like C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript.
Every tablet that is out in the market, every iphone is rooted to this contribution by the computer scientist Dennis Ritchie.
