      Yeah no one care about him ,but they don't know who sacrificed his life for our generation ,and they don't know now what they are using behind it logics and algorithms are settled. And theses revolution could possible only due to D.Ritchie👍

      brian james This sucks, especially because the return type int in your example doesn’t return anything.
      The return 0 statement means to exit the program with no errors. Your code should be like so:
      #include
      int main( void ) {
      printf( “Thank you, Dennis and Ken.” ) ;
      return 0 ;
      }
      Alternatively you could also use puts() ;
      This code is more acceptable and Will have less warnings/errors coming from the compiler. Besides, it’s punctuated better.
      Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson would be proud. ;)

    Coming from the primitiveness of CP/M and MS-DOS or forms driven screens on IBM minis .. the idea that you could refactor and recombine different little utilities so easily to produce an output was AMAZING to me. Sure, DOS had redirection but it was just not the same. You could write a whole print filter on your own and connect it to the spooler, no problem.
