-Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie

Dennis Ritchie was an American computer scientist who developed the most important tools for the growth of information technologies, or in the words of the experts "helped shape the digital era", but in my words he is the father of the operating systems as we know them nowadays.

This prodigious man was born in Bronxville, New York. His father Alistair E. Ritchie was the co-author of "The Design of Switching Circuits", same book that in detail explained the switching circuit theory. Through this, we can say that the succesful ideas were on the blood of his son.

Ritchie graduated from Harvard University with the degrees in physics and applied mathematics, which is very impressive because they are majors that are not directly related to the field of computing.

Ritchie was best known as the creator of the C programming language, same that was the key on the developing of UNIX whereby he recieved an award for his development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system, in other words some famous people like Steve Jobs owe their success to Ritchie (Mac OS and its derivatives are based on UNIX).

He was found dead on October 12, 2011, at the age of 70 at his home in New Jersey, where he lived alone. 

Until now nobody knows the exact reasons of his death.

Quizz #1
This quizz was very simple, I'm not sure but maybe the teacher intentionally gave us a little advantage.

Quizz #2

This quizz was a little bit more difficult than the last one, because some statements aren't that obvious.

Quizz #3

At the begining I thought that this quizz would be so difficult,  but it wasn't the case. 

Extra
In order to study better, I copy some concepts of the book to my notebook as a review.
